Hi all,

Thanks for your feedback.

Please be aware that the status indication on the Nokia website tells you whether the update is approved and made available for distribution through the Microsoft update path. When the update actually becomes available for your Lumia 710 or 800 you will receive a notification on the phone after which you can install the update using Zune.

Propagation through the update servers for Zune may take a little time and is something Nokia has no control over so please have a little more patience when you seen the status as 'Update Available' on the Nokia webpage.

Hope this helps,
Kosh

let me know if that works 
Taken from nokia support forums...so i guess we will just have to sit back and wait till we get the notification on our phones......

NODO trick:
1) On your phone, go to Setting->Network Connection. Disable your Data Connection. Disable your WiFi too if it is connected.
2) Connect your phone to the computer via USB. Zune will automatically detect your phone. Go to your Phone Settings in Zune. Look for the UPDATE button in the list.
3) Now, here is the important part, which wasn't clearly explained in a lot of tutorial. Get a stopwatch/timer, click UPDATE. Depending on your network speed, it will prompt that your phone is already in most updated version. Lets says the time it took to detect the update version is 7 seconds.
4) Click cancel. Then click UPDATE again. Unplug your LAN cable (or disable WiFi if you are on wireless) after 5-6.5 seconds you clicked UPDATE. Zune will continue to check for update. If you timed it well, it will prompt that there is a new OS version.
5) REMEMBER, replug in your LAN cable/WiFi. Then click Update and wait patiently. It will take around 15 minutes per update. It will update from 8107 -> 8112. Then redo Step 4, you will get 8773. All these were only OS update. After updated to 8773, let Zune continue to look for new software, you will get Nokia firmware update automatically. This is for the FW version 1750.0805.8773.12220 for Malaysia unlock set.

You may to try Step 4 a lot of times....it needs a lot of patience. You need to switch off your Internet connection around 1s before you it says no update. I was about to give up last night, until the very last try, I got the new update prompt.  

The reason behind this method could be due to Microsoft's way of distributing update. They are implementing "throttling" update, which means only selected number of phones (means random) will get the update prompt. This number will be increased from time to time. If you notice the first time you do Step 3, Zune will pull around ~500KB data before it says you do not have update. I suspect the server is sending a flag (at the very end of step 3) to our Zune to say it does not have update, when in fact it has....just that they are randomly sent. By disabling your network, your Zune did not get that flag. 


Works! Downloading it now! Essence at the bolded part.

Try this guys, its working for me, just got my first update, 2 more to go! 

only try if you have some patience...had to turn my laptop wifi on and off many many times before i got it

Thanks to the bro in the lumia 800 thread
UPDATE: finished updating!  

Congratulations!!!

Actually my phone game hub was chess tile...first time I buy this phone, it was Xbox. After few days, I update (not this new version of update) my phone and it turn to chess icon. Then, when this new version out, I hope it change back to xbox bcoz my friend said with xbox icon, there are lot of interesting games. But it still chess icon. Some said that, Xbox is only for America region.

Btw, did anyone know how to change tile size? Or it was only for lumia 900?
