This I don't understand. I wonder how Apple managed to make sure that their iDevices (across 20 devices range) can be updated globally at the same time. It just boggles the mind how no other company is able to do something similar to what Apple does.

I just call them and they said no stock @_@

as always.. Nokia deployment for their firmware update is as slow as hell. And the always delay and delay for months...

thats y since n8 I always flash my self... pigi mampos with warranty

I tell u, fark the americans. I never liked them, they want everything to go to them first. Nokia used to launch their devices and updates pretty early in Asia and India, that is where their strength is. Since everything about america - websites, anal-ysts, bla bla talk trash about nokia all the time, Elop decided to concentrate their product launch in USA first. They are the first to get the portico and windows 7.8 updates, and they were also the first to get the Lumia 820 and 920 in early November. It was the only way to save the company, apparently. Blackberry's new devices didnt launch on Verizon first - UK got it the day after they revealed the new BB10 handsets, and you can see the americans cursing them. They think they are always the first to deserve anything new.

I have no idea why they cant launch the updates worldwide though - Nokia ahs always launched both hardware and softwares region by region, never all at once, from what my experience told me.

But why do you expect? Considering they're all america companies. Apple, BB, Google, MS etc, I'm really not surprised

Blackberry is Canadian, not American. I have read in some comment section in engadget before, the guys complain why this and that doesnt come to USA first. Yea, right, Americans always think they deserve everything, and you show them the something like a RM 500 smartphone they tell you "garbage like this shouldnt exist". That's the problem, they are very ego, i never liked them. I might be stereotyping them, but i think at least the tech geeks are like that.

Ya right I was wrong, BB(RIM) is from Canada, just like bieber

nokia currently bowing down to MS because of financial backup. maybe after some successful runs of the lumia and pureview tech, nokia will come out with their own OS. its hard to see nokia simply giving up their legendary OS RnD. right now they are hitching a ride on windows phone because they need some backup while they develop their new OS while not going android.

remember that some days ago, intel were looking to hire windows engineers. its not a surprise if in a few years time, nokia go their own way with their new OS and MS teams up with intel.

i don't think that will happen so fast...coz if not mistaken, ms and nokia signed the agreement for 5 years...

Personally i dont see Nokia will ever drop windows phone, but, you know, when they start earning $$ consistently they might grab the Jolla team back with the sailfish/meego OS. Personally, i thought, since belle could only support up to 640 x 360 it should have been used in cheap asha devices, the S40 should just run the nokia 3310-style T9 input button dumbphones. There is no need to develop the OS, just use it over and over again the in Ashas.

Anyway, even many ppl criticized Elop, i think it's because of his radical actions and decisions Nokia has a profit 4th quarter. He did a good job, but Nokia is at Microsoft's mercy when it comes to how fast the OS can improve. I see Samsung as the number 1 all time, no one can replace them. They are the jack of all trades - they make everything from internal parts to all kinds of devices and electronics, they have the resource and infrastructure. The only possible way that Samsung will all from number 1 is North Korea drop a nuke on the south...

LOL how is Bieber related to this topic... Even as a guy I dont hate him or his music though, all the irrational hates on him, i guess that's what you get when you get too popular.

I read through the performance report of Nokia in Q4 2012, the main reason they are making profit is from Nokia Siemen, not really from the sales of Lumia, although Lumia is picking up also.


Just saying. lol
Because when I typed BB it reminded me of BieBer which is also from canada

Nokia Semen *cough cough, i mean Siemen, has always giave them $$ every quarter, but what converted their loss to profit is increased sales, firing more people, and selling their HQ. If they dont own the HQ as a property, they have less taxes to pay also.

bb is rim. Canadian company

I was thinking of flashing and upgrading to Portico but then I need to download my games and all the apps again?
Or is there a backup software I could use to backup everything.

unfortunately not. everything will be gone except for contacts, pictures and installed apps. settings is not recovered.

that's why i would rather wait for the OTA update than to flash it

I see then i'll wait. It's not that i'm having any problem with the current one.

I do get random restart sometimes, which is quite rare.
Previously was non-existence. Battery life is good as well provided that you don't install Skype.
WhatsApp sucks though as the notification is slow..

anyone wanna buy lumia 920's casing or accessories in bulk?

My phone restart when I take picture during clubbing time. Awkward
