It appears that the a wide-scale rollout of Windows 10 Mobile in the United States can’t be too away. We reported earlier this week that T-Mobile has started pushing the update to select Lumia smartphones in Poland, while the the wireless carrier is also prepping a German rollout in the coming weeks.

Today, Windows Phone 8.1 users in Latin America are reporting that their Lumia 535 smartphones are being upgraded to Windows 10 Mobile — more specifically, they are being updated to Build 10586.39 courtesy of the CV LTA ROM.

While it’s great news that Microsoft and its wireless partners are showing some love to various countries around the world with regards to Windows 10 Mobile upgrades, we’re certain that Windows Phone 8.1 users (at least those that aren’t part of the Windows Insider Program) would like to have some love aimed in their direction as well.

Once Windows 10 Mobile completes its global rollout, it will initially be available on the following smartphones:

Lumia 430
Lumia 435
Lumia 532
Lumia 535
Lumia 540
Lumia 640
Lumia 640 XL
Lumia 735
Lumia 830
Lumia 930

In addition to the above legacy Lumia devices, Microsoft has released two flagship smartphones — the Lumia 950 and Lumia 950 XL — and the entry-level Lumia 550 which come preloaded with Windows 10 Mobile. In addition, the mid-range Lumia 650 should be released to the public shortly.
