So let me see if I understood this...
- A Nokia representative says that the Amber firmware is not meant for the 810/820/822.
- But they made the firmware available (perhaps accidentally), anyway.
- Then after a few hours, they removed it to prevent 810/820/822 owners from installing it.
The question is: once this firmware is installed on the 810/820/822, do these phones get all the features that the newer phones are getting?
Congrats for all the people that successfully downloaded and installed these updates. It sounds like by-in-large the update is fine with no real reported problems.
Which brings me to the next idea. Do we have confirmation that the firmware is not meant for the 810? How did we get that confirmation? The next question is kind of rhetorical, if that firmware is not for the 810, then is the 810 going to get a firmware/GDR 2/Amber update?
Finally if that update really wasn't meant for the 810, but yet it seems to be working fine; then that kind of makes a potential mockery of all the time and effort and often failure in testing updates for the different phones. If for example I can flash a bios meant for another motherboard into my computer and it works fine (that's something I would never try to do), then what am I to think about various T-Mobile pronouncements about how this or that update did not meet their standards.
My take away is that update and firmware WAS likely meant for the 810, but I am very curious as to if we can confirm the idea that it was NOT meant for the 810.
