@Hmm .. check the latest @NokiaCanada tweet .. they are trying to teach us English Grammer .. they said "starting April 20th" and ON or Around 20th .. So i gave  my hopes down .. mostly i am going to return the phone and go back to voice plan .. i think it will take atleast 3mths .. i am praying i could be wrong ...

It won't be 3 months, this isn't some kind of upgrade that's nice to have. People are pissed because it's taking longer than it should have. Especially considering AT&T made such an aggressive release for their devices but it's pretty save assumption that the update will be out this coming week.

I wouldn't return it...

My friend bought a AT&T Lumia 900 that got the update... I played with it, it's incredible.

I wouldn't change it for anything. I know Rogers isn't the best... but I want to support the Lumia 900. It's different, and it's so much better. The battery life, screen, software is all better than my old iPhone 4s.

...and AT&T only did this because it was a brand new, hyped phone.

I have an unlocked AT&T Samsung Focus S which is STILL waiting for the 8107 patch to fix the disappearing keyboard problem!

Rogers is much better at 'patch support' than AT&T -- that's why I picked up a Rogers Lumia 900 as soon as they came available.

[Meowmix]

Not only because it was brand new & hyped, they did it because many in the states got it compare to us here in Canada.

Actually Rogers is worse on updating any kind of phone. Read threw most of the threads here & you will see many phones have not been even updated to the new versions yet. The States & Europe get updates before we do.

Rogers seems to be taking their time with this. Yes its a big update but really they need to be doing this a bit faster. Hopefully it gets sent out to us soon.

For whats it worth we weren't running the same firmware as the AT&T release; secondly, who knows, maybe they identified other issues and have attempted to fix them in a patch as well...

Or Rogers is just being Rogers..sigh

I've had my phone DOA'ed anyways; just waiting for new stock to come in 😕 

The phone itself though is fantastic otherwise.

[stevenliu12]

called rogers tech this morning,was told new patch is supposed to come out today,wait untill midnight or check via zune.

they are playing games.

That is a good point, could be Rogers is slow but also that  there is more to the Rogers fix or they are implementing a few more fixes that will eventually go to AT&T as well. Either way, it's been long enough, they better get it out soon!

[stevenliu12]

anyone lucky by now?

[SCHUEY]

Nope, but I've been lucky in the sense that I have'nt been hit by the bug.

[mishanctrl]

My Lord .. Finally .. Guys keep posted on the issues after update .. may be a new thread is good .. 

I also got a txt message saying text message time stamp issue is fixed as well !!!! 

[mii]

I have a sneaking suspicision there was more to this issue that they let on.

[SCHUEY]

Updating now as well. Also got the timestamp text message.

[Mayoo]

Please post the full version/firmware etc ect .. so we can see where does this update took us too ..

[mii]

OS Version: 7.10.8107.79

Firmware revision number: 2175.1002.8107.12084

Hardware Revision number 112.1914.2.0

Radio Software version: 2.1.75.10

Still have purplish keyboard issue - from what i'm seeing this is common across the board now for pretty much all nokia owners; post's ive seen where people say they "do not" have the problem have auto brightness enabled which is not the way to check for the problem. You must put the phone is auto mode off and set the brightness to low. 

Data issues seem to be fixed, phone also seems to be more responsive. Otherwise to early to tell.

[SCHUEY]

Yeah, the phone does seem to be a bit more responsive.

Good that the update is finally out.
