PENDING CARRIER APPROVAL

For some of us - that may mean never.

What about cyan?

Cyan brings WP8.1 to Lumia users not using the preview. Rest of us just get the firmware part.

I thought firmware and OS are seperated? Like GDR3 and Lumia Black.

Every website say 24th June are official release date. And wiki says start rolling out from 24th.

 

[Jangir Amit]

Even evleaks are confirm that...

Last week of June.

If I am using an unlocked 1520 on T-Mobile, there is no carrier approval, is there? Plus I already have the dev preview

 

[David P2]

If it's a factory unlocked handset then there is no carrier intervention, else the ROM needs to be flashed to a Country Variant version or you will be stuck waiting until the phone's original network releases their update.

Nokia X2: the next-generation X - Conversations .. yeah!! not

You'll not have to wait for any carrier approvals and should get the update as soon as it lands on Microsoft servers. I have the preview as well, but as a 1520 user I'm really keen to see what Nokia cyan brings to the table in terms of improvements. I wonder if the official 8.1 version will see any improvements over the preview version.

It's already 24th in India

One question. Will official 8.1 be available through developer preview?

 

[MrWhiteman]

Country Variants should get it first as carriers have to add their own junk before releasing. Glad I changed my ROM from EE UK to GB CV.

One question. Will official 8.1 be available through developer preview?

We already have it, so I doubt it. It would revert us back to ordinary software instead of dev previews. I get the feeling we will continue getting dev preview updates and will always have a later version than non-dev phones. Kind of like having Firefox Beta, you're always going to have Firefox Beta from then on.

I think only X2 is released today. No news for 8.1.

Correct me if I am wrong, but wasn't 24th of June the start date of WP 8.1 lifecycle, NOT the mass release of the update? I haven't seen anywhere a serious news source to claim that MS would release it today..
The way I see things with the release is that the update itself is ready, but they are waiting for Cortana team to launch all the features, planned for the release, since Cortana is in the core of the whole WP 8.1 and WP 9 experience for the future. Imagine they launch 8.1 today, without Cortana even showing your local news feed, temperature in Fahrenheit only, 10 jokes in total, and limited chit-chat.. that would be a disaster for a start.. launching an incomplete piece of software that is not 100% sure that will do what it is supposed to, would ruin everything, even though we all know what the plan is and how great Cortana will be..
Another thing to consider is that the official WP 8.1 SHOULD update Skype, as it is also a core product of the OS. There were news that Skype for 8.1 would be very different from what we have now.. I am not sure if Skype would be ready..

I am afraid if they launch the 8.1 before they are ready with Cortana and other details, they would ruin the whole OS. We, here that tested the new OS really don't care so much of the bugs or incompleteness of some software or missing one, but try to give feedback and work to make the OS better. Out there are many people that will not give Windows a second or third chance if they mess things this time..

"PENDING CARRIER APPROVAL" ....

Great, looks like I will be waiting around 27 and a half years seeing as EE take there time, hell they don't even support there App anymore.

 

[Geddeeee]

They do support their app. It was updated to work with 8.1....

 

[taymur]

the chart kinda indicated the update will be on the 26, not the 24. soooo im not sure what is going on with everyone.

 

[taymur]

and it indicates, that the 630 will get a fix.

I think only X2 is released today. No news for 8.1.

NDTV is reporting that Windows Phone 8.1 might actually launch later on today...As per Neowin
