Hold your purchase since IFA will surely see announcement of at least 3 handsets. And along that some other manufacturers will surely launch some devices.

Don't miss the Lumia 535 Smart Buyback and MobiKwik cash back offers if you're in India | Windows Central

I don't think this is a good deal!
Lumia 535 @ 6K in exchange of certain handsets, coz new L535 itself costs 6.3~6.5K..

MS released a statement saying that windows 10 will be going to require about 5GB of storage. Now I am wondering what will happen with these 4 gb phones.

Lumia 630 for 4499 ...is it worth getting it now??? Will it get windows 10 update???

Every Windows Phone 8 device will get Windows 10 update. But, the devices with 512 MB RAM and/or 4GB Internal memory will be missing out some features.

Is it too much to hope for a 2gb ram Windows phone under 20k this year?

Using Windows 10 Mobile, I feel it is taking a lot of RAM than WP8.1 on my Lumia 520. So, most probably, MS won't launch any 512MB RAM phones which means 1GB RAM might become a minimum spec on Windows Phone. So yes, you can definitely expect a Windows 10 running phone under 20k with 2GB RAM soon.

But, that's just my opinion. Also the RAM consumption may be optimized before the launch of Windows 10 for mobiles.

no thats because Microsoft hasnt released a firmware update specific to windows 10 and 520 yet
it was the same issues with preview for devs during the 8.1 beta days
once Cyan and Denim came out,all those issues were fixed

though 512mb phones are being phased out now
still great that MS still supports older devices pretty well unlike android OEMs or even google for that matter

maybe they may be left out initially but I think they will allow SD card upgrades like with 8.1 update 2

maybe not
I think they will release something drastic next because they have been rather secretive off late
maybe a surface phone :p (I bought a Surface Pro 3 this week,absolutely stunning device,I sincerely hope they will make a surface phone because thatll absolutely kill android or atleast a windows 10 rom for Zenfone 2 :p )

Otherwise they might release an updated 640 or 640XL - like phone imho

[h=2]Lumia 550 'Saimaa' RM-1127[/h]
  • 1.1 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 210 quad-core (unconfirmed)
  • Removable SD
  • 8 GB internal storage
  • 4.7-inch 720 x 1280 AMOLED display
  • Glossy White or Black polycarbonate
  • On-screen keys
  • Metal around the display
  • Displaces Lumia 640
  • LTE
  • Speaker lower left on the rear
  • Rear camera with flash
  • Front-facing camera with flash
The Lumia 550 looks exactly like the current Lumia 640 on the market, and indeed, this phone is meant to displace that device at some point (there is no Lumia 6xx coming, to our knowledge). The prototype we saw has a glossy white cover and retains the boxy look of the Lumia 640. There a very slight lip around the rear camera, which also has an LED flash.

They should really consider SD410 and 16 GB internal memory if 550 is going to replace 640. :|

Yeah i agree. Microsoft cannot afford to launch phone with lower specs than Android competition if it wants to gain some market share. If those Snapdragon 210 and 8gb memory specs are true, its not worth more than 7k. But its going to be around 10k at launch is my guess because of LTE and 720p amoled display.

MS is still not able to show us the flagship for the longest of time. people are holding their purchases in anticipation of these devices but if they ain't coming soon MS will lose some more customers.

Why no roar on upcoming MS event.

950 and 950XL looks promising, but they need to price it right.

That roar has now become a squeal.
