I saw an article on GSMArena saying the same thing.... Now the question is, how much time the carriers will test and then release it.....

it takes approx 5 months to develop a gdr version. carriers test them for more than 2 month. wtf logic???

First who is NokiaTheOne on Facebook?? I sure hope that it comes before that, if not I'm so tempted to flash my phone right now.

 

[hazarry]

if that is true... i cant wait any longer, i'll rather flash my L920 to amber soon.

Not sure if that looks like an official page to be honest...
It could mean that the update will FINISH rolling out by the end of Aug though..

This can only be carriers being a pain.

We've already seen various devices launch with the current update, and a couple of carriers seem to be releasing the update, so its not Microsoft/Nokia at fault.

if this is the case then oh well... i'm certainly not by any means in a hurry... but what if your device is unlocked like mines (920 on TMo)... i'm guessing it will still be carrier specific huh?

As I told here on forum, September!

I have to say, this may be the one thing that drives me away from Windows Phone to the iPhone. I love my Lumia 920, just like I loved my Samsung Focus, but I had really expected Microsoft to have learned from the update problems that plagued WP7. I know that they have made some improvements, and I certainly feel that Portico was released in a timely manner, but now we're back to the same story with (what I presume to be) carrier interference. At least with Apple you know there is a yearly update cycle and it's handled directly by Apple instead of going through the hands of the provider.

Yes, I believe so... In other words, you'll be waiting on AT&T while I'll be waiting on Rogers.

So only 1 person questions the validity of this FB account while everyone else goes on a rant against Microsoft and their carrier. Talk about selling people a bridge.....

I also read in a post online maybe its true and if it is now you will know why all the rants against Ms and carriers

 

[b3rni3703]

F the carriers in general... and their COUCHES!

 

[WPer]

If you search for "gdr2 att date" on Google and open the FB link shown in the result, you will find it reasonable to blame the carrier. Well, of course, assume that what that guy said was true.

june ,...july ..august ... september

We've got to get in mind that carriers want to people to buy new handsets not to keep them, so there's your logic
Is it unfair? Indeed, but there's nothing we can do at the end :/

Well, we do see what appears to be a repeat of the Mango rollout queuing up again. Based on prior experience and what we actually do know, I don't think some of the opinions to be far fetched. Certainly, we're better off than Android users have been, but I see value in Apple's approach.
