Will T MOBILE distribute all available Windows Phone 8 UPDATES as they arrive ?
This is MICROSOFT'S OFFICIAL POLICY
Dated June 11, 2013.
Microsoft today announced an increase in the length of the company's support lifecycle for Windows Phone 8, from 18 months to 36 months. Beginning with Windows Phone 8, Microsoft notes in an official blog post that updates, including security updates will be available for 36 months. Each update will (as we already know) incremental, with each release building on the preceding one. While the company will have the update available, the MOBILE OPERATOR and / or mobile phone manufacturer* may control the distribution of updates.
So if we don't get Nokia Black and GDR3 it is T MOBILE who doesn't support updates for our phones NOT
NOKIA* ( who has also signed onto this new policy) or MICROSOFT who decides, but T MOBILE.
True T MOBILE must receive the updates first but both NOKIA and MICROSOFT have stated that these newest updates
will be available in early 2014 for ALL WP8 owners.
