Those of you with a Lumia 920 on AT&T still waiting for the Amber update to arrive won’t have to wait much longer according to an AT&T representative on their Support Forum.
The post, by ATTDmitriyCM on the thread Where’s The GDR2 Update… Any Schedule? reads:
“Thank you for your inquiries about the latest Windows Phone update for the Nokia Lumia 820/920. We are nearing the final stages of testing and expect the GDR2/Amber update to be available in the coming weeks. We believe you will enjoy the experience of the new software update and appreciate your patience.”
Lumia 920 users on AT&T have every reason to be feeling a little impatient regarding the update, which started rolling out in the middle of August, and while that was only seven weeks ago, Nokia had indicated that all Lumia devices would get their version of GDR2 by the end of September. Mind you, those who remember what update schedules on Symbian were like probably won’t have too many concerns about a couple of weeks delay.

Microsoft , Nokia & carriers have to be on same page with this. no reason why att delayed yet half the world has it. This is where you have to tip your hat to apple. they do this right.
Also, the networks are much more likely to pass the ‘magical, heaven-sent’ updates from Apple quicker than the ones from Nokia. It’s probably all about image, and knowing what they already know of the absolute shambles Nokia have made with past updates, the likes of AT&T want to make *absolutely sure* everything works perfectly, before their stores are overrun by angry 920 and 820 customers whose phones have frozen up because of some glitch.
But it’s still bloody annoying!! haha :^)
In a hissy fit, I’m back on my 808 PureView until this finally rolls out to my 920. GRRR!!! :^(
My reference to Symbian updates go back to when I used my 5800 and was waiting for V52 I think it was, it was delayed by months for T-Mobile customers, in the end I changed my product code, which brought it straight away.
I know mate. Waiting for Anna on my E7 and then Belle… I was ready to cry at one point. So ridiculous.
