Nokia Lumina 920

Does my 920 get an update to windows 8.1

Yes. If you're here in the US with ATT as your carrier, you'll have to be patient (me too). In addition to the Windows 8.1 update, we'll be receiving the Nokia Cyan firmware update.

Microsoft released the update to carriers a couple of weeks ago, but then reports starting coming in that users who were using 8.1 Developer's Preview (same version as we'll be getting, released ahead of time to developers so they could update apps) were having problems when the cyan firmware update was installed. The issue is a problem with compatibility between cyan firmware, windows 8.1, and bitlocker encryption.

In a nutshell, they have some tweaking to do. After that, ATT will take their own sweet time testing and tweaking further. Almost certainly, they'll remove the DataSense utility that enables you to see which apps are using up your data plan. I'm just hoping they don't remove Qi wireless charging (ATT has thrown their support behind another wireless charging standard).

So, we'll get there. Ideally, sooner rather than later.

ATT is already testing the update so it can roll out anytime soon (Black released fast but Amber took a while)

That's what they say... Forgive my skepticism. AT&T was the first US carrier to offer Windows phones, but they are hardly a booster club for the brand.

I share your skepticism about AT&T. But although they've abandoned Qi on their new devices, why would they stop supporting it on a device that's already equipped with it?

Because they sell PMA compatible shells and chargers.
