GDR2 is now on the way!

Looks like an update is mentioned on the Canadian site but nothing from my provider yet (WIND)
 
Should this just become the "I got it thread" ?

I'm on Verizon with the 928...I have a feeling I am going to be waiting a while...
 
My mom has a WP8 Samsung Odyssey on Verizon. Is she guaranteed the update or is it similar to Android where the update may never reach her or it reaches her months after release? Sorry, I've only used Android phones which suck with updates.

Its technically approved by the carrier.So, you'll have to wait.
 
But is there the chance that it will be rejected by the carrier, or is there a chance that the update won't be developed for this phone.
 
Will the new update have the ability like the new Android update, to move apps to the SD micro memory card. That might be in GDR3 since that feature just came out recently in Android.

No
 
So you're saying that my unlocked Samsung ATIV S that I'm using on O2 has to wait for O2 to approve the update?

That's simply not the case, Samsung get the update from Microsoft, approve it and it gets pushed out to unlocked Samsung Windows Phones.

I'm not making any predictive statements, all I'm saying is what happened with the very similar 920. I was an unlocked 920 owner and watched as branded versions got updates before my sim free one. Again, I hope I'm wrong.

I was one of the first to receive the portico update because I have an unbranded HTC 8X. And people with a branded HTC8x received the update about weeks later. So unlocked phones usually get the updates at first because it don't have to be aproved by the carriers.

Oh, and the Dutch Microsoft site also shows the information about the GDR2 update, It did already shown on the 11th like all other sites :P
 
Poland is different country, ehhh I don`t think that Poland get radio and download music function.
 
My HTC 8x received the update and I am now downloading it! People with an unbranded 8X, check for updates right now!
