I don't think so. News like these (which seem to be pouring daily) make me happier and happier that I have an old Lumia 710 - never mind lack of apps, it also means malware writers are not interested, and it does what I need it to do, so far. The only problem is the browser is getting so old it is starting to have problems with some web sites. In a year or so I will probably have to replace it for that reason. (But with what? none of the alternatives look appealing right now - with Microsoft looking like it wants to destroy what was good in Windows Phone, Android looking like a plague ship, and Apple overpriced, as you note).
