Hi,
I decided to move from Android (Nexus S) to Nokia with WP
Here, in Bulgaria, we have sim unlocked Lumia 800 for the price of 380 Euro.
But there is just black one.
So, my question is: are there any software or hardware differences between balck and cyan Lumia?
Apparently some people with cyan ones haven't received the 15000 firmware yet.
Apparently some people with cyan ones haven't received the 15000 firmware yet. ... how can the case colour affect FW distribution? There must be some other difference (other than colour) if there is a link between certain handsets & FW revision...???

I don't think that's dependent on colour. It's to do with your country/carrier.

Did he just say that? Haha! No difference whatsoever, it's just appearance difference really. Note that if you're going to go for the Cyan version, it does not have a Cyan theme colour (UI accents) that's why I chose black, if you want the other colours, just buy an official rubber case, that pretty much changes your whole phones colour.

This is not a true statement. The Cyan specifically has been behind on getting the update. Some users just started getting it last week. It has nothing to do with country carrier when it comes to unlocked/unbranded devices. Otherwise, importers like me would never get an update from AT&T who doesn't support the phone.
Have the cyan model bought in Sweden about 3-4 weeks ago and it had 11501 already installed.

I've had 3 Cyan 800. I've experienced the Cyan to be last in line for updates. The black in same CV had it long before.

The model, not the colour, everybody's been having different date updates, which Nokia mentioned, within two weeks. I had to manually do the OS update on my black Lumia 800. The firmware update came instantly.

And the "within 2 weeks from Jan. 18th" only applied to first wave Lumia's.
The Lumia's which hit other european markets after the first wave didn't get it till last week, and is probably still rolling out.
Model/CV version, what's the difference? As I said the Black in same model/CV (Country Variant version) got the update before the Cyan.

So isn't that Country/Market/Carrier related rather than colour? Does the colour have a specific ID? I suppose it's just a different colour/case right?
Ok, I see the situation.
Anyway, here in all shops are black. I was thinking for cayan but hope the black one will worth too.

Nokia claims it's based on IMEI. So, Cyan IMEI's are much later than black.

Fortunately Three didn't do anyof that, nokia blue is still present.
Another route instead of flashing is to be a developer. This is how I got rid of T-Mobile Branding on my Omnia 7 by flashing the Mango Beta. I assume they will release a Tango Beta in the same way to developers and you'll be able to flash that to your phone and have a generic rom.

Yeah there's blue and Nokia Blue.
AFAIK there's room for 1 custom colour. Nokia have used that space for Nokia Blue but if networks want their colour on the phone the only option they have is to replace Nokia Blue, default colours can't be replaced and they can't add another one.
I suspect that Phoenix will do. At the moment there is no cracked Phoenix, which supports the RM-801, RM-803, RM-809, RM-819. You have to wait and see.
There's a Debranding app I think if you're chevron unlocked. Take a look at that.

There is a discussion in the Lumia Development section about Debranding. There is a version 5 of Nokia Care Suite which is supposed to allow flashing of Lumia but for some reason the software isn't allowing us to...

Nokia Care Suite is a poorer version of the Phoenix. I always used to use Phoenix to such things. It seems to me that the Nokia Care Suite, you can only upload the firmware for the phone Product Code. Otherwise, the program doesn't see the firmware.

Okay fair enough.
Is this version working? (Phoenix Service Software 2011.46.002.47246 Cracked & Original)
No. This version of the Phoenix still doesn't support Nokia Lumia 710/800. We have to wait until January or February and then to be Phoenix, which supports Lumia

So I have the UK version which is the 801, it clearly states 900/1900/2100 UMTS bands. Just wondering if I can get a known firmware version with 850 band support and flash it on the UK version i have. could it possible allow the 850 band to work? Seeing how I dont think nokia would opt to manufacture two different hardware version of the Lumia 800

I'm pretty sure they are literally different hardware models so no I don't think you could flash another type of firmware.

Hey everyone
I just received my Lumia 920 today. Phone is amazing!
it came with the cv-HK firmware (country varient Hong Kong?) since I ordered it through mobicity.com.au and they get their stock from Hong Kong :S
I have flashed the latest Australian stock ROM (cv-AU) and was wondering if I will receive updates in the future?

Thanks for the reply
I was pretty much wondering the same thing. I think my 920 is unbranded but I don't want to wait 'til Feb to get the updates so I was wondering about using Navifirm as soon as suitable firmware appears for my phone.
Does anyone out there know if this will mean I'll always have to manually update in the future or will I get notifications like everyone else on the firmware I install?
Thanks.
Edit: Turns out my phone isn't unbranded. Now I'm tempted to de-brand. If only game saves could be backed up.
I'm intrested too with this.
I bought my 920 in Italy and flashed using navifirm with the world fw unbranded. Now i'm in Brazil and not getting the update.....can't tell if because it's not available here or because i flashed.......any opinions?

I just realised, that when I had my Lumia 800, I flashed the unbranded aus ROM over the Telstra one, and I received updates straight away.
So, it shouldn't be an issue when an update is released.

Yeah Nokia have only released the new Portico update for certain carriers in certain markets so far. They also said it would be available across the globe in February 2013 (which I believe is an under-promise) and should be available around January sometime.
Trust me, if you have flashed a different region ROM, you will still receive the updates. I have flashed and re-flashed the crap out of my Lumia 800 and 900 last night and they both keep receiving updates. Lumia 920 will be no different. Once the update is available in the region of your ROM, the phone will get the update.
For some reason I can't post a thread in the marketplace so I'm putting it here.
Looking for a Cyan 800 with US ATT bands. Let me know what you have.

They are difficult to come by in that variant/color. The cyan was not actually released in the US apart from being given out at Microsoft conferences. I got my cyan RM-819 from a Canadian seller (Telus model).

Can the Telus model be unlocked easily for ATT usage? Also, will it support ATT tethering?

They were only released in black and magenta (from Microsoft). I did find one interesting thing though. The cyan popped on on BestBuys website and says new item!. It is listed as not available but I would keep an eye on it. $300 is a good price.
Code:
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Nokia+-+Lumia+800+with+16GB+Memory+Mobile+Phone+%28Unlocked%29+-+Blue/6973531.p?id=1218817708673&skuId=6973531&st=lumia%20800&cp=1&lp=2
The Telus model can be unlocked easily but you need an unlock code (costs about 20 dollars). I am using mine on Straight Talk (AT&T) and tethering works perfectly [ I am actually using it right now to type this ]. For your refrence you want product code 059M190 or 059N599.

How do you ship it to USA?
I contacted Axiom. They ship abroad (at least to Canada). But they are not releasing any until the official release date of Aug 10th.
I was also wondering about the region locking that samsung does. If this is not first started with a sim from that region, won't it fail to work with a foreign sim?

There was no region lock on the S7 Edge that I bought from Dubai, so hopefully there will not be on the Note 7 either. As far as I am aware, there has only been European and USA region lock on Samsung's earlier models.
Sent a message to jumbo cause it appears they take paypal. Hope they ship to America. Strange they are not on ebay already no one lives in dubai?

Do you know if it's coming with a 128gb SD card? Most of the other online places are including that. I was waiting for Axiom to have it in stock because they will ship internationally and include the SD card, but I'm still waiting.
This might be a noob question. But what's the difference between 930F and 930FD except the dual sim? What's the down side of the dual sim? Does it compromise anything? Which should I get for use in Canada? Thanks for any insight.

Hi there.
I can't see the red variant in Flipkart and all videos in YouTube are only either of blue of the black variant.
Has anyone been able to buy the 6-64 red one from mi.com/in?
Wasn't available in first sale. Only Blue and Black variants were there.
I've seen a video of a guy living in Hong Kong, he was able to buy a red one in a local store.
