i wanted to wait for this phone. however, my absolute need is a dual SIM, and here you don't get it. even then, i could wait (thinking that i would be using a small phone for the 2nd SIM), but unlike android/iOS, windows phone OS is missing so many useful apps, and this phone is not offered with a large internal storage.

BTW, does windows 10 mean here an user should be able to download the same app as he can for the desktop systems? in other words, desktop windows 10 = mobile windows 10? if yes, then...

No, one cannot use the Win10 phones as a full OS.

As for dual SIM.....really? Unless you have two phone numbers you want to field calls from on your cell, there's no reason for dual SIM. Going to another country??? Pop out existing SIM and buy another overseas.

I live in India where dual SIM is a must, one for the corporate number, and the other for the personal one. If the bank/credit card/other info is linked with the corporate number (just because you are using a single SIM phone), when you change your job, it's very difficult here to change your associated mobile number info immediately, which may be a potential problem.
