AT&T may rollout Windows Phone 8.1 update 'as early as this week'

File this 1 under rumor, but an AT&T Community Manager for the AT&T help forums is stating that the Windows Phone eight.ane update may begin to rollout at on "certain devices as early equally this week!". The AT&T employee so directs users to watch for an update on the AT&T Consumer blog, where the visitor usually posts details most such events.

The Customs Director named 'ATTMarianaCM' revealed the news and marked the thread "solved," finer ending the help topic (though the thread is still open for comments).

Microsoft – and the former Nokia team who oversaw updates – started rolling out Windows Telephone 8.i only final calendar week. Since so, there has been a limited result with those running Windows Telephone Preview for Developers and who have corporate phones with BitLocker enabled. However, the overwhelming bulk of updates are going without incident. So far, only the Lumia 625, Lumia 925 have received updates with trial rollouts for the Lumia 1520 in Finland and Republic of india (there is also ane Lumia 520 in French republic getting it also),

Despite public perception, AT&T has been in the past relatively timely for Bone updates. For example, the AT&T Lumia 1020 received Lumia Blackness well earlier other devices around the globe last December. Likewise, the Lumia 820 and Lumia 920 both had their Lumia Black updates in tardily January, beating both Verizon and T-Mobile by substantial margins.

It now looks like AT&T may continue that trend by pushing out Windows Phone 8.ane and Lumia Cyan to their customers just 1 week after the initial rollout. The only question that remains is which devices get first. AT&T has numerous Lumias to back up, including the Lumia 520, Lumia 820, Lumia 920, Lumia 925, Lumia 1020, and Lumia 1520. Additionally, AT&T also has the Samsung ATIV S Neo and the HTC 8X, though Samsung and HTC so far have been quiet nigh any Windows Phone 8.1 updates.
