Hi, Julie. Thank you for sharing your experiences. You may not realize but the advancement of technology in India is almost a difference of 10 years when it comes to certain area. Like we didn't have phones till the early 90's. I remember my dad bought a Motorola set which was as good as any paper weight. Likewise my brother went to the U.S and he got a gift from his friend- a acer laptop with 12gb ram. (12gb ram is not available in Laptops in India) 🎃

Just sucks that one day I will die and not get to see the next thing! Pfft!

Any idea if we can download it using phone data? I just shifted to new flat and getting a new internet connection will take a couple of days. Can't wait that long if it releases today. My phone has sufficient data so charges are not a problem.

Don't see why not brother. There's a tickbox in phone settings to allow download over data "if your data settings allow for it".

Yes, you can use your data if you want to. You don't need WiFi :)

I'm not so sure about that. I think it depends on the carrier, but I know that my AT&T Lumia 1020 isn't allowed to download updates via cellular, WiFi is required. But I think it's a carrier specific thing, so it might be allowed on some carriers, forbidden on others.

I have an idea that might work for you:
1) Put out your sim card.
2) Insert it in one friend's phone.
3) Turn on tethering on your friend's phone.
4) Connect through WiFi.
5) Happy update.

It also partly depends on the size of the update.

Fair point.

ugh I can't wait!

I can't keep calm. Windows Phone 8.1 developer preview is almost here! Seriously though if it turns out not to be tomorrow we're still closer than we were yesterday. That's my way of staying optimistic just in case we have to wait a little longer. But hopefully not...:)

Waiting=Torture

Ok everybody, just go and take a nap that lasts at least 12h. Then, when you wake up, you'll see the update. Trust me.

Well... I'm off to bed, hopefully the update will be out by the time I wake up.

For people who can't DL without WiFi (AT&T) if you have another phone tether it, or tether from a friends phone just make sure you have a stable connection. I'll be at work when it drops and will have my G2 on me just for that reason.

Same here. Hoping for a nice long rest. I have both my 520 and 1020 set to download updates automatically, so hopefully I'll wake up with an "Install" button ready to go on both of them.

Looks like the hype is real guys. It better come out tomorrow lol

Well
