We had reported last week that the Lumia Denim update will be released soon for Lumia 830 and the Lumia 930. That information had been provided by an unofficial source but today there’s a clear indication from the folks behind Lumia that this update really will be rolled out quite soon. This was revealed through the official Lumia account on Twitter.
In response to a query on Twitter the official Lumia account replied that the Denim update will “roll out soon following testing and operator approvals.”
What this means is that soon enough the ball will be in carriers’ court because as sooner they approve the update for roll out the sooner it will land on devices. There really is no yardstick to judge how much time a carrier is going to take in order to approve a software update so this may vary by region, country and carrier.
Though normally it doesn’t take that long for the update to receive approval, provided there aren’t any gremlins that the carrier finds. Then they have to be fixed before the update is deemed fit enough to be rolled out to all users.
It is expected that the Lumia Denim update roll out will take about two months to complete so even if it starts rolling out in some locations by next week, others may have to wait until the end of January.
