Are we there yet?

Nope. I thought for a fleeting moment that the Extras+Info update might have been a path to the update routine, but alas, it isn't.

are we sure Sept 2014 is the target? Maybe they meant Sept. 2015?

If I keep asking, "are we there yet", will that make it go faster?

 

[Airlid]

No but some one might pull the car over.

I think "Big Red" fell asleep behind the wheel :wink:

today is the day for sure

I have said that to myself everyday for the last month so one these days I have to be right I guess, but on the other hand this is Verizon we are talking about :grincry:

That's why we poke them so often.

Well, if it is, nothing yet

Here's to hoping for it today !!!

My guess going to be tomorrow (Thursday 9/4) or next Thursday. It seems most WPCentral 8.1 announcements fall on a Thursday.

I hope that Nokia US posting this on FB yesterday is a good sign...

I stopped by the local Verizon just to see what is new. While there, I played with the HTC One (W8). It had WP8.1 sans Cyan of course. But the interesting part I noticed was that when I brought up Cortana it still showed it was in beta. Otherwise, it was a pretty nice phone. Just not nice enough for me to dump my Icon.

Also, I talked to a VZW rep while there and of course he didn't know anything about when WP8.1 is going to be pushed out. He tried to down play Windows Phone in general and that's when I politely shut him down.

P.S. Are we there yet? :winktongue:

I don't understand the attitude, is it profit margin? Wouldn't they be happy with any sale of any phone?

Hopefully the update comes soon. 928 has a new firmware update on Navifirm that showed up today, will post a screenshot when I get home.

Edit: Here are the screenshots from Navifirm+. Looks like the 822 is also getting the update soon. Hopefully only a matter of time.

Could it be possible that Verizon is holding on to cyan and will wait to release Lumia denim???

LOL !!! I actually spit up coffee when I read that.

Do you actually think Verizon would release both of them in one shot, never mind "denim" is not scheduled till Q4 (fall/winter)?? We will be lucky to have Cyan this month (as we are all crossing our fingers) and as for "denim" scheduled for Q4, with the delay from Verizon, I would not get your hopes up till Q1 or Q2 of 2015....

But, DAM, I hope I am wrong but, history shows the odds of this is true... Let's hope the Dev preview actually works 100% with out needing Verizon to do anything (battery life, camera, etc) for Denim...

Very cool features, I think, I am actually wanting for Denim more than Cyan (as I already have 8.1.1 features)....

It's possible... But more likely that we'll get Cyan/8.1 this month and Denim/8.1 GDR 1 in October/November.

Remember that it's not just Cyan that we're waiting on, all of Verizon's Lumia's are currently waiting on WP8.1. Which is a HUGE update. GDR 1 is a very small update by comparison.

:crying: I would certainly hope not. With my past experience with a Galaxy S3 on Verizon, they are just plain laggard when it comes to pushing updates to phones period. They are far too busy making sure that all of their crapware works with the new operating system/firmware.

This is what I'm thinking. Looks like denim will be final within a month since these new phones are shipping with it. I think at this point I'd rather this be the case, given that at the current rate we wouldn't see denim until like, spring next year.
