I just have to wait for Nokia to release the patch. I was planning on passing on the 810 to my dad who is currently using the Samsung Focus and Lumia 900 but I guess he will get my 8X
There is a suggestion for this as well:
Nokia should enable downloading firmwares through Navifirm again!
Not sure how much it is worth there, but Nokia must listen to Microsoft's suggestions
That would be nice. I'm at a point where as much as I like my 810, I may get a Catwalk. But, I will settle for a 8X to use back and forth in the interim. At least for now we know the 8X is still alive...
Unfortunately with T-Mobile I know nothing. Without messing with the phone or installing Storage Check or something similar the 810 ends up being crammed fairly quickly for a lot of people. Given the 8x firmware hasn't been updated since January and HTC may not be the healthiest company, I am unsure at to if the 8x is alive or another zombie. If you've head news about the 8x then I would be interested in hearing the news. Catwalk sounds interesting for me and I will pay attention when it is released. However given it appears to be a T-Mobile exclusive I am certainly torn about that. One would think that T-Mobile would sell it for longer and support it better than the 810 as it would be the flagship Windows Phone on T-Mobile (for now), I cannot say that I am thrilled with T-Mobile and will be either considering the Catwalk or an unlocked non-exclusive phone like the 920.
Any day now though I will be at forty days since moving from T-Mobile prepaid to their new plans and I will request an unlock for my HTC HD7. Then I shove back the 810 and raise my finger to T-Mobile. Sorry for the bitterness, but I think you all understand......

From what I have been able to gather, it's a two way system for developing firmware. Either Nokia or the carrier can initiate a bug fix. Example:
A carrier could find a bug, submit a bug report to Nokia. Nokia would work on fixing the bug. When finished, Nokia submits the firmware to the carrier for testing/verification. If it passes, the carrier would push it out the devices.
If Nokia finds a bug, they work on fixing it, when finished, they submit it to the carrier(s) for testing/verification. Again if it passes, the carrier pushes it out to the devices.
No matter how you slice it, the carrier is the final gate for firmware updates.
Now, if you have a factory unbranded, unlocked device, you have to wait till all the carriers that use that device give a thumbs up, then you get the firmware from the manufacturer (meaning you are usually last to get the update).
At least that is what I've been able to determine. If someone else knows otherwise, speak up.
Yea, but at least you have a better chance of eventually receiving an update, as even if there are multiple carriers with the same device, there are specific sections of the firmware that are carrier specific. If the bug fix isn't in that area, then it has a better chance of being pushed out.Hi Guzzler,
The first part about the two way street makes sense, and I do agree that the carrier is the gatekeeper. However I did not know that unlocked devices have to wait till all the carriers that use that device give the release a thumbs up. That sounds hideous, maybe even worse that having a carrier exclusive. For me that sounds like multiple carriers could have veto power instead of just one. Is that really the case? You're frightening me!!! :smile:
yeah someone should contact DanielI wonder if we can get any of the wpcentral staff to try and use their connections to see if they can a) get to the bottom of this or b) use their clout to pass a message to the higher-ups of either MSFT, Tmo, or Nokia in behalf of us stranded consumers?
I would like to suggest another method to contact Nokia about firmware updates.
1.Go into settings on your Lumia phone.
2. Got into email+ accounts
3. Make a nokia account right on the phone.
4. scroll down to feedback about to Nokia under settings.
5. Give them feedback and in the comments ask for the firmware to activate storage check.
I feel we need to assault from all avenues!

Because it needs the 1308 and up firmware.
