Dude your friend fooled you. He's just using the preview for developers that is available to anyone irrespective of country. But I guess the update has been pulled off now due to some users facing errors in downloading the update.dear friends,
My friend says he do have 8.1 update, which is he get bypass from other country, as in india it has not released,and from nokia store info get that it would be with them on september or october.... why so?
