Official 8.1/Cyan for the Icon?

[Neil Hinkle]

Ok, I got a little grumpy there for a moment. I'm just on a emotional roller coaster right now.
Its out! YAY
no one is getting it. BOO
I'm downloading it now (YAY), just kidding (WTF)

Sorry about that. It's getting beyond ridiculous that it isn't out after all of this time.

Just a cruel, cruel joke.

Hmmmm should have gone live 6 pm today.

tcman 88,
Any updates for us?

 

[airjeff]

Maybe the "Can you hear me now?" dude called Microsoft at 6 to say push the update, but the call was dropped. LOL

 

[raqball]

Think we got duped...

[airjeff]

TC will get back to us when he knows something. Since he's probably not at work anymore, I'd imagine we'll need to wait until tomorrow for him to get the skinny. In the mean time I'll hit check for update a couple times an hour.

I thought it was said on the wpcentral that updates get pushed out from Microsoft at 1pm EST or maybe EDT. Not sure about that but maybe we have to wait till tomorrow. Which is nice cause I live in Washington so hopefully 10am tomorrow it'll be a nice shade of blue.

 

[Indistinguishable]

Tc wasn't trolling us. Sometimes plans change.

We'll find out more tomorrow. All I know is i'm backing up my phone tonight in preparation.

OK, it seems most of the talk is (again) about 8.1/Cyan being released for Developers. That doesn't help Joe Customer who can't get Developer versions or doesn't want to risk voiding a warranty with an unsupported download. The only thing that really matters is when 8.1/Cyan will be released to the Verizon customer base at-large. Wake me when that happens.

Uh... you do realize that the WP8.1/Cyan for developers is identical to the "official" WP8.1/Cyan released by Verizon right? And ANYBODY can down the DP version. All they need is the Preview For Developers app installed and registered.

Uh... you do realize that the DP version is just that...a developer version, not-ready-for-primetime.

 

[quantum tao]

The developer preview of 8.1 was the same, but I think DP is a couple updates past that now.

Wrong, wrong, wrong....Verizon releases Cyan (WP8.1 PLUS THE FIRMWARE NONE OF US HAVE (why doesn't anyone understand that part?)) once, to all its users.

Uh... you do realize that the DP version is just that...a developer version, not-ready-for-primetime.

Is this a beta program? Am I going to get beta bits that are full of bugs?
No. This is not a beta program. It is a way to get the same bits that the manufacturers get, ahead of whenever your carrier decides to release them. As was demonstrated when this program started, there were those who claimed it was not going to be the final release, and those who claimed it was. As it turned out, those who believed it to be the final release were correct. The build that was given to the Preview for Developers participants was the same build that the manufacturers got from Microsoft. There is no guarantee that this will always be the case, as it is always possible to find a bug and issue a late release, but this definitely is not a beta program. The software being delivered is meant to be ready for prime time.

I'm on DP too, but nothing in Denver. If it's official I'll roll back to 8.0 once I get home.

Why roll back to 8.0.

I'm having trouble telling when we're being sarcastic at this point.... Does TC actually know anything? Is there any reason to take him/her seriously?

 

[drufranco]

Wait I just excitedly scrolled through two pages about an update being released and there is no update? ~|~

Was this update suppose to be Cyan or was it just another prep / tease update for further support of said firmware?
