  1. It is not rolled out for all phones, will be complete by September end. For low end phones, it is coming soon.

  2. That’s one reason I would love to flash another ROM. Any idea if its available for Country Variant devices?

  3. 2 days back i have updated my lumia 620 with amber update but some features are not there like FM ,double tap and pro cam .will this features will come in another update or not.

  4. @Ankesh,
    Let me clarify your doubts.
    1. FM is not available for Lumia 620, it is the only lumia phone which will not support FM.
    2. Double tap- Again not available to low end phones I guess
    3. Pro cam is available only for Lumia 925, 928 and 920.

  5. My Lumia 920 says it has the Amber release, however I don’t have some of the “features” that I should have… Any ideas?
