HI All,
Any Expected Timeframe as to when it will rolled for the Lumia phones bought in UAE. Please assist.

Rahul
As of right now, the US-based phones don't have a "final" build of the firmware yet since it hasn't been signed off on by AT&T (Microsoft, please explain ANY benefit from buying an unbranded/carrier-free phone directly from you since they are still crippled
by carrier laziness). This firmware has been available since July 1st via Windows Device Recovery Tool for most variants, but not the US. As of today, it's STILL not available via WDRT. AT&T could sign off on it any day but don't expect that to happen as
they tend to sit on these things for quite a while it seems.
Once the firmware is available via WDRT, expect the push to happen shortly after. I stopped checking updates on my phone and now go directly to the Lumia firmware site to see if it's even finished instead because it's not going to be pushed before that.
As we've seen so many times before, AT&T will drag their feet on approving this firmware and there's always a good chance they may never approve it. It certainly won't be the first time (or the second time, or the third time, or the fourth time, etc.).
