Windows Phone 8.1 update releasing tomorrow? (says the wikipedia page)

[SoullessOnyx]

My Lumia 1320 is unlocked, does that mean I get it today?

Depends if it gets released or not.
But yes, you shouldn't have the delays of network-branded handsets.

No. Far as I can tell, nobody has had it today or it would be all over the site front page that it's been released.

Second, it would depend if your phone is a country variant (ie sim free or factory unlocked). If it's been unlocked by a 3rd party then you are still stuck with the release schedule of the original network, unless you flash the rom to a country variant version.

I am aware it has not released yet, I am just asking if it does release will I be able to download it right away with an unlocked device. =)

Even evleaks are confirm that...

Last week of June.

Bear in mind that graph is for one region only. I think it was a Dutch region.

Time will tell

It seems impossible to get any information out of O2, Microsoft or Nokia about the release expected today. I have tried contacting them, and it felt like I was asking about how to build a space rocket using a washing up liquid bottle. No one at any of the places I contacted seemed to know WP8.1 even existed!!

Thanks anshuman for clearing our doubts
But the good news is that we will get it this month

In the US we are at the mercy of the carriers. Even if Microsoft release it today, we will not have the update until few months after.

That's bad brother

I'm more excited about the fixed Xbox music app.

Country Variants should get it first as carriers have to add their own junk before releasing. Glad I changed my ROM from EE UK to GB CV.



We already have it, so I doubt it. It would revert us back to ordinary software instead of dev previews. I get the feeling we will continue getting dev preview updates and will always have a later version than non-dev phones. Kind of like having Firefox Beta, you're always going to have Firefox Beta from then on.

sorry if this is a dumb question but how did you go about changing the ROM on your phone to a country varient

 

[Malay Agarwal]

If not today then by mid-July Microsoft will have to release the update.
They cant keep normal consumers waiting for 3 whole months!

What's your source, nothing says so on the onemicrosoft FB page?

 

[Indistinguishable]

Okay I went ahead and changed the WP8.1 Wikipedia page to be more accurate. See how easy that was? :grin:

Windows Phone 8.1 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 

[roc_ren]

Yes, and we shall particularly emphasis on the "start" part..

Read it carefully.
There's a line at the end

Just had this tweet from Microsoft UK...

Microsoft UK ‏@MicrosoftUK 4m
@xxxxxxxxxxxx Great to hear your interest in 8.1. We have no news to share at the current time ....watch this space.

Might be a long wait til we actually see anything :unhappy:

Can't go by what shows up in Wiki. Wait on official announcements of what is to come.
