8.1 Sooner Than We Think?

[hopmedic]

I don't know if it is or not. I know that I just got an email from Windows Phone Insider. Let's see how this pastes in....EDIT: Ok, it doesn't paste in well at all. Here's the gist of it:

Cortana is coming soonWe can't wait to show you how Windows Phone 8.1* will make your Nokia Lumia a lean, mean, personal assistant machine.Discover Windows Phone 8.1 (link)

Meet Cortana, your new personal assistant
link

It also tells you how to check for updates.This makes me think that it must be coming sooner than we think. Why would they be telling people how to check for updates if there was nothing coming soon to check for?

I got that same email also and I thought it was strange for us to check for updates if it wasn't around the corner.

I agree. Maybe it may be made available as the 930 starts sellling (in US atleast).

I too got that same email, and I too had the same question... I wonder if the official rollout is imminent?

LOL! Don't worry - I doubt that this means that if the update comes out that everyone will get it but you. :wink:

I recall a similar email for past windows products, and it was still like another month or two. But I can't really remember for sure. I did get this email, and at the time I was figured it would still be another month. MS would really surprise me if it were sooner than that.

Hey! I'm from Guatemala and we get every single update like a gazillion years after everyone else but... I got the same e-mail!

It's only if you subscribe to windows phone insider

 

[paulxxwall]

Hope it does come sooner though

The 930 isn't going to be in the US (at least, not under the 930 name). That was already stated back in //build//.

On topic though, I thought it was strange I got the email also, but didn't give a second thought as I already have 8.1. ;D

Hmmm...
Hopefully Hops instincts are good...and I think they are.

 

[colinkiama]

It's so they have something to put on windows phone insider. They haven't sent me any new mail for a while now.

 

[Meleokian]

Most of the help content on windowsphone.com now references features from 8.1 as well I noticed today...

 

[hopmedic]

There's no instinct involved, Guytronic. I'm just wondering "aloud" what the possibility is.

Its funny, I was Skyping with my parents yesterday. They said they got an email about WP8.1, and they are wanting to know how soon till they can upgrade. They were a bit confused that they can't get it now. Whatever happened to the days when they were the ones teaching us about patience? Anyway, HURRY UP MICROSOFT!!!!
