Anybody received this update yet? Got a 3 branded Lumia 1020 & had nothing through as of yet.

Just wondered if anybody else had received it yet? I know you can do a manual 8.1 update off the developers site, but this doesn't include the Lumia cyan firmware update.

Forgive me if this is a silly question, but does installing the developer preview retain all the settings? I.E im not suddenly going to find myself having to re-install all my apps & adjust my preferences again?

Did it wipe your messages etc?
Nope, retained everything like that & all settings just made every single app re-install itself.

Cheers, did it work. Took a while as it had to update to a particular 8.0.something update before 8.1. A lot slicker and the majority of my annoyances with windows phone have been addressed. Lets see what the camera is like tomorrow.
Yer mine took the best part of 2 hours all in all between the 2 updates from start to finish. But so far the only issue i've come across is that the current version of whats app isn't compatible with 8.1 and has a few issues such as not displaying any notifications unless you physically go into the app. Apart from that thought i'm happy, been using the notification center a lot it's a feature that it should have had from the start. But better late than never I guess.
