<I see where this is the latest news..... " MetroPCS Lumia 521 is the latest to receive Windows <Phone 8.1 and Cyan" MetroPCS Lumia 521 is the latest to receive Windows Phone 8.1 and Cyan | <Windows Central
<Appears the might Verizon just got bested by the lowliest of competitors.
<How embarrassing.
<I dunno.... we might see the update AFTER Black Friday..... AFTER Verizon sells a ton of new <phones with 8.1 and Cyan on them already.... THEN they might toss us a bone and release the <update..... you KNOW THEY have had that update ready to go for months and are sitting on it... <THEY don't give a rats *** about us previous windows phone owners.....
Well, well, well..... guess who was right after all???? Except that they threw us a curve ball, and gave us Denim instead !! I had given up on Verizon, and was in Costco on Monday when my phone gave me an alert.. .. checked it and I had an update.... so, I guess it was a DP update and let it ride..... checked it later and I had upload arrows on my Signal Strength icons.... CYAN?? so I check the About and it was DENIM ??? I almost fell over !!! So THAT is why they were so silent.... going to make a jump from Black to Denim in one swoop! And so far, it works great on my 822.
Verizon, next time, please be up front with us and tell us what is going on..... Yes, you got the jump on the rest of the carriers, but you left a bitter-sweet taste in the Windows Phone users mouths !!!!
