... with no black/gdr3/update 3.
I'm a patient person and have been patiently waiting for this update, however this is just getting ridiculous.
Having browsed the Nokia black update page the past few months, the clear message has been that the higher spec phones have been getting them first, slowly going down the list to the lower spec phones. OK, fair enough, I can wait. The exception is the 520, which has it now before us, but I'm not surprised considering how popular that phone is around the world, so don't mind that the 520 gets it before us, makes sense in a way for Nokia/Microsoft.
The fact though that EVERY 620 in EVERY country (AFAIK) still says "waiting for approval" is ridiculous - this cannot because of the carriers, it must be at Nokia's end. Again, I wouldn't mind if it had at least got to the "coming soon" stage, even if only in some countries, this would at least make it known that work is being done, expect it very soon etc.
I know there are the odd Lumia's (non-620) on the odd carrier that still are "waiting for approval" but taking the UK, where I am, as an example - the non 620's still waiting are the 920 & 520 on 3 and 820 on Vodafone. The fact that a) every other carrier have updated their 520's and 920's and b) 3 have updated their 925 & 1020, Vodafone have updated their 1020, 925, 920, 625 and 520 prove that, in every other case, it appears to be the carrier as to why a non-620 hasn't been updated.
Hopefully, it is the case that Nokia has now given the update to all/most carriers by now, meaning, that we will see actual progress within the next week, but considering how long it's taken already, and how long most other phones have had black, I'm not going to hold my breath.
