Not so much a question, but an observation. I did not know where else to post (by phone model? By OS? By firmware?) that wasn't too narrow.
After downloading the new T-Movile 925 official update, the debate about is it Denim, as claimed on Extras, or Cyan, is rancorous. Is to! Is not! As has been know for almost two weeks that there was a premature application Extras upgrade that, well, lied to us. But that was then, this is now.
So I went to Nokia and found information on the Denim and Cyan upgrades. Well, guess what, kiddies? There is no firm boundary between the firmware (Amber, Black, Cyan, Denim) and the OS, anymore! And that's not even counting what Preview for Developers adds into the cauldron!
Here's the Denim release page: http://conversations.nokia.com/2014/09/04/lumia-denim-update/ Notice phrases like, " Lumia Denim Update combines new enhancements from the latest Windows Phone 8.1 Update 1." All of the non-camera features listed have been in PforD for several months, on Black, even. The new Denim Lumia camera features appear to require the newer faster processor. Fair enough, so my Denim may not be the same as your Denim!
The Lumia Cyan page, http://conversations.nokia.com/2014/07/15/lumia-cyan-update/ is similar in that all of the features were incorporated into PforD 8.1 for months running under Black.
So how much of my 925's new update, official from TMO instead of PforD, is genetically 8.1? Cyan? Denim? And parts of Denim aren't included because of the processor!
For months I couldn't understand the craving on these forums for Cyan while so many WP's were hobbling along under old 8.0. I tell you, if MS hadn't come out with PforD 8.1, my Windows Phones would have been out the door long ago.
So, at this time, I care not a whit about the firmware designation, just give me great OS updates.
