Nokia Lumia 920 purchases have Portico update pre-installed
We've just got word from a Windows Phone Central reader that the Portico update is pre-installed in a Lumia 920 which was received from Dutch retailer KPN. According to the tip the build presently listed on the device (8.0.10211.204) matches what we've previously reported on when talking about the latest Windows Phone 8 update.
There has been speculation that Nokia is pushing out hardware with the latest build already installed, which is now confirmed with the recent reports. The company has had the update on its servers (though some were pulled) for some time but should you still be waiting on the update to hit your Lumia 920, there's a way to retrieve it manually.
Thanks, Daenney, for the heads up!

It's good to see Samsung isn't the only one doing this...
ejlee072006 says:
So why is the photo HTC??
Daniel Rubino says:
It was the image on the phone that was suppose to be representative of Portico. We assumed our readers would "get it" but alas, we underestimated you.
None of this of course has anything to do with the story at hand...
JonnieLasVegas says:
LMAO!
Giffdev says:
laughing at this response ^ well played
Fishhouse says:
Not the best response to retain or increase readership...
ejlee072006 says:
Jajaja makes no sense in English.
Hammered Pizza says:
Sorry Dan, condescension isn't the best way to deal with readership - especially here where it's just not called for.
Aldoron says:
Maybe he's becoming a little jaded over those who nitpick about the seemingly unimportant details. I know I would be.

rodneyej says:

halamadrid11 says:
What kind of stubid comment is that from you daniel, always respected you and bought wpcentral app too and thats how you treat..
ammarmalik2011 says:
You expected a decent comment from Daniel? How naive of you
snarkysnickerdoodle says:
Now now, you new to this site? Daniel isn't a stranger to leaving the occasional obnoxious comment or unfriendly response to a question! But then again aren't we all?
JonnieLasVegas says:
Wow, who cares, lol!
rcballa12 says:
And also ships as an HTC 8X. What a ripoff!
gary gatter says:
Why are we still waiting for this update in the UK?
Wembergcarlo says:
Sorry for the profanity. But that's that Sh**t I don't like. Why does early adopters always get scr**ed.
JonnieLasVegas says:
Being an early adopter is like being a pioneer. You always end up with an arrow in your back. Now that you know, don't be an early adopter next time.
cddigi says:
My new replacement Lumia 920 I got from AT&T that was shipped on Dec 28 had the Portico update installed.
mister2d says:
Your point is?
cddigi says:
Well the report is from over in Europe. I'm saying it's also been that way in the US since at least Dec 28.
mister2d says:
Yes the US AT&T phones get the update. This hasn't been news for weeks. Which is why I'm wondering why you brought that up. The point from the article is that for first time, a non US Lumia gets Portico.
Mafiatounes says:
His point is inline with the article, so shut it!
Aldoron says:
Why is everyone attacking each other...
blessthejon says:
Please stop being jerks guys. Daniel or anyone else can put whatever picture they want. And clearly the 8x was running Portico. :p
Aldoron says:

minibeardeath says:
I cam confirm that my replacement AT&T Lumia 920 which was shipped out last Friday had portico preinstalled
toddpart says:
Same for me...got an insurance replacement, brand new, not a refurb, yesterday that had the update pre-installed. way to go Nokia/AT&T
MadSci2 says:
I posted that my AT&T 920 came with Portaco installed back in 2012 - ok it WAS sold to me 3 minutes before closing time Dec 31st but is this still news?
Admittedly, if it had been an HTC phone, no-one would have believed me ;D
RN50 says:
Still no update for uk lumia users.
pikablu0530 says:
The Samsung ATIV S in Canada also has Portico pre-installed.
dalsmavsfan says:
When is the update coming out?
Solidstate89 says:
And still no update for my unlocked 920. It's really starting to irk me.
Aldoron says:
Is it not possible for you to do the manual work around?
Solidstate89 says:
Not for the BUILD device. I would end up flashing a Rogers ROM and I don't want that.
The Black Mamba says:
I just had a replacement device and it came with the update preinstalled. I am not sure if you guys are taking about the same thing.
rcciren says:
Nice to see you guys are getting the WP8 update thro but what news of 7.8 for us "oldies"????
francesco87 says:
No update in Italy too.
DarthVeda says:
Devices released in India have the update installed. Looks like all new devices released will be having this update.
ChazTyldsley says:
Anyone picked up a new 920 in the UK with portico pre installed? My upgrade date is 8 days away and I plan on going into the store and picking up a Lumia 920 that morning.
doctorweir says:
Also Singtel Singapore pushing Porticos apparently...if there is stock ;-)
But no OTA yet...but certified ROM from Nokia, so DIY, hehe...
Alex Holyoake says:
My 8S comes with the update installed. Does anyone have vibrator and battery problems with that device, by the way?
Grizlyadams says:
My Ativ S, bought last week had this update installed..
ajithkingsley says:
Lumia 920 and 820 comes with Potico update preinstalled here in India!!
envio says:
My HTC 8x had to be replaced just 28 days in, happened two days ago. The like-for-like replacement came with Portico pre-installed. (unlocked from Phones4U, UK)
NickBollockov says:
Nothing for the 920 here in Australia yet on Telstra. ..hoping this happens soon as the camera is not worth using at the moment. In fact I keep ducking back to my old iPhone for snaps...any news would be greatly appreciated as I'd rather not complete the upgrade myself from Nokia's software app.
Jerome David Germain says:
I just bought my Lumia 920 with Optus but portico doesn't seem to be preinstalled. How do you figure out whether it is or not? I checked in 'settings/about' but I don't know what portico's number is
wiesi says:
I also recieved my L920 from Austrian carrier A1 with the update preinstalled.
Jerome David Germain says:
How do you know it's preinstalled?
