Updating to WP8.1

[p51mustang]

Update to be released early this week.

I've already installed my Windows Phone Preview for Developers Program app so that I don't have to wait months for MTN to roll it out.

 

[Wag]

Great news.
Please tell us more about this app and where to find it?

Take a look at http://www.wpcentral.com/how-sign-windows-phone-81-preview-developers for detailed instructions.

Does anyone know how I can get Black without waiting for it from networks?

Still waiting for it for my Lumia 625 (country variant - ie open phone, not VC, MTN, Cell C or other).

While you guys are updating to Wp8.1
Here's a awesome review from WPCentral that's making me considering it as well.

After the 8.1 install I have 20 apps that need updating. Must say the operating system is much quicker ".

 

[Arthur]

Done.

OS Version 8.10.12359.845 installed.

Now to explore. And understand things like WiFi Sense.

First thing I notice is the three O365 Outlook tiles now have an E because they're all connected to Exchange.
