So disappointed. Refer here http://wmpoweruser.com/nokia-ambers...&utm_campaign=Feed:+WmPowerUser+(WMPowerUser).

I spit out my scalding hot coffee when I saw this.

Oh well. Time to buy another Nokia phone...

I mean, I think the 620 would be OK. but the 720 !!!!
They could've at least compensated by updating the said devices before the 920 or the 820.

Very much disappointed. Did they at least give a reason as to why the features will not be there and if third party apps can make the feature available?

That WMPoweruser "news" is false information, as usual.

Expected on 620. This will probably disappoint a lot of 720 users.

No. They probably wanted to extend the list of differences between the 720 and 820.

They actually have a reliable source : Nokia

Extremely disappointed as a 720 user. I really don't care about that feature, but Nokia can't say in this case that's a missing hardware issue, it's just simple: they don't want to bring this to the 520, 620, 720. I just feel somehow betrayed . I really do. I'm sorry, but as much as I love my phone, the next one won't be a Nokia.

Lumia 520 AT&T GoPhone has double tap to wake as shown in video below. I'll wait and see, Lumia 720 user here and love the device, really want double tap do wake. BTW, I love the curved glass in this device, makes it feels premium and nice to touch.

Green light for Lumia Amber – Nokia Conversations : the official Nokia blog

Earlier it has been Lumia 520 and Lumia 625 lacking some features, due to lower display memory. I don't think this has changed.

That source contains a post from a Nokia Community manager who says double tap is not available for the 520, though it is on my Mom's 520.

Guess I shouldn't have described the source reliable then. I seriously would like those features on my 620. But the enormous list of complaints on WPCentral that the 620 lacks double tap to wake made me believe that the source information is true. So, until I get the update, I'll just wait.

so the Lumia 720 got tap to wake or no? :| in the f?rum Nokia the admis not say nothing :| that makes me think buy the 720 or the 820 they have all features....

 

[Amritash Pathania]

DONT worry guys nokia lumia 720 will get tap to wakeup feature

 

[mpt15]

OMG can people just be patient... You will know when the update arrives on your phone

 

[gouthamdatsme]

If this is true, the features are getting less as time passes but the time for the amber to reach the phones goes on increasing -_-

 

[gouthamdatsme]

If this is true, nokia would have released this information along with the info that Lumia 620 wont have FM and 520 wont have Glance or at least before they started distributing the Update because as of my knowledge, they would have tested update on all devices before the distribution started and would have released this information before it as now the update is just waiting for approval and not under testing, so this info may be wrong.
