It looks like most of the fixes in this update are for the 920 and all of it bricking and restarting woes since release. As a matter of fact, these updates were so desperately needed that the Portico update is now delivered on the 920. Yes, it will take VZW awhile to deliver them to us. But we may not be missing a thing. You can read more about this on the links below from WMPoweruser and WPCentral.

Yup. Key words bolded. It is an OS update, not a firmware update, and therefore ALL Windows Phone 8 devices will get it. No less. It is not an update for any particular model, as that would be a firmware update. It is a bug-fix (and a few extras) for the OS.As a matter of fact, you don't know that the 920 desperately needed the update. That is an assumption based upon a flawed and very small number of complaints, if you consider that forums are where people come first to complain. Portico is not just some sort of glorified 920 update, and has been released for the 8X, 820, and 810. As the 822 is supposedly based upon the 820, and the 820 now ships with Portico, I would suggest it matters to 822 users as well. Please stick to the facts. It is an OS update, not just a glorified firmware patch, and VZW is the US carrier that has not released it. As with anything else VZW, they will release on their schedule when they want to support it, and no sooner.

Based on another thread it looks like Portico fixes the SD card stuttering/freezing problem that the 822 has, that is pretty important.
So I just got my 822 and I was wondering if we are gonna get the new windows update coming out?
Here's what you get with Portico. Doesn't seem to be anything too noticeable...
Mine hasn't crashed due to camera yet, but the stuttering video records bugs me.
So I was searching around yesterday and ran across some articles about Apollo+. Here's where I get confused, some claim it is the same (as Portico). Anywho, I feel they're different.
Why I bring this up is, in those articles they claim that they're hoping to push Apollo+ first QTR of 2013. If that's the case, maybe carriers are waiting for that release instead of Portico? Still, I'd be bummed because I'm waiting to see if Portico fixes concerns I had, but as a carrier (and this late in the game), I'm sure they'd hate to deal with back-to-back phone updates.

that's great news re: group mms, hopefully it's credible and coming soonI appreciate you clarifying that @hopmedic. I was also looking around to see what others were asking about like on windows forums, and Verizon.
There was one person suggesting making a statement to the FCC about being upset (I think it was on one of the Microsoft forums). Anyway, the person got a response back (about group sms) and they (verizon rep) basically claimed that there would be an update around mid this year (2013). I don't know if the software update is Portico or something else later...

In another case, a verizon rep claimed that Portico wasn't ready because of their network specs. I think this was a fairly recent response.
(and of course) that one is on here:

I hope there isn't this long of a wait...
