BBM for WP is said to be coming in August. It's development was confirmed by BB

no bbm friends... no care...

on a more interesting note

WP8.1 is packed with so many features it could almost be WP9, not just a point release

Interested in getting a Windows Phone preferably a Lumia that would be compatible with bmobile.
I have heard some rumors that if I purchased an unlocked GSM Lumia it may not work with bmobile.
Is this true?

What do I have to look for when purchasing a phone from the internet to work with bmobile?

Please advise.

Once the bands are correct and they are for all these Lumia phones, you'd have no problems.
Anyone interested in a Lumia 925 pristine condition less than two months old..looking to upgrade to a 1020. Selling for 1500 negotiable. Cost 2400 online.

^^bess price and beautiful phone. That 16gb is a killer though. I barely have anything on my 920 and I only have 12gb of free space still.

christopherwilliams2 · Postby **christopherwilliams2** » March 13th, 2014, 8:36 am

yes the phone is really svelte...

Windows phone 8.1 is live for dev unlocked phones right now!! Two updates, a pre update and the full.

RASC · Postby **RASC** » April 14th, 2014, 9:42 am

8.1 seems like a huge step. It's more like windows 8.9 lol

It is a big step. Have it installed now and some very hefty improvements to be seen all round.

mero · Postby **mero** » April 14th, 2014, 9:56 am

How long install took? Gonna do it just now?

original_lollybob · Postby **original_lollybob** » April 14th, 2014, 10:27 am

i've been updating since 8am

seems the more used your phone is the longer the update takes...

96% on the actual 8.1 for me

Captain Awesome · Postby **Captain Awesome** » April 14th, 2014, 11:30 am

The two updates took an hour to install on my end. The majority of time was spent on the "shifting gears" screen.

RASC · Postby **RASC** » April 14th, 2014, 12:05 pm

Wow... what's the size of it?

original_lollybob · Postby **original_lollybob** » April 14th, 2014, 1:46 pm

the longest part for me was migrating data... me thinks it sends alllllllll your data up to the cloud, does its job and brings it back down

mero · Postby **mero** » April 14th, 2014, 2:31 pm

I was trying to get the developer preview today on the appstudio but site was moving g really slow.
I'll try again tonight

Captain Awesome · Postby **Captain Awesome** » April 14th, 2014, 5:55 pm

Don't think data migration is done online as that went through while on the road. Update running smooth as silk though.

boxy · Postby **boxy** » April 15th, 2014, 7:21 am

Allyuh this update should be called WP 9 yes the amount of changes it feels like an entire new eco system.

Getting my Lumia 822 this week.

Same here, I bought a 1020 locally and it seems it originated from China. I think it has something to do with regions though.
