The Lumia 820 and Lumia 920 Windows Phone 8 Amber Updates are also available for fellow "Country variants."

Meanwhile, the Lumia 520 is "Waiting for approval" from mobile carrier Sun and a local country variant.

Nokia has defined the term "waiting for approval" as undergoing final test with either the specific country or mobile carrier before approval.

The Lumia 620 and Lumia 820, via carrier Globe, are also waiting approval.

The "Waiting for approval" phase continues for the Lumia 720 though a country variant carrier.

Finally, Smart's offer of the Lumia 920 is the last Windows Phone 8 device in the "waiting" phase.

A major improvement within the Windows Phone 8 Amber Update enhanced many features of the Nokia Lumia's camera, particularly the auto focus, noise filter, and low-light photo-taking capabilities, to name a few tweaks.

As Latinos Post reported, Nokia did not rollout the Windows Phone 8 Amber Update in one huge distribution, to ensure "quality standards."

"To ensure the software update meets our quality standards, we're running multiple tests with various country variants and operators," wrote Nokia Conversations' Ian Delaney. "We make the updates available to you as soon as we complete testing. With Lumia Amber we expect to have the update arriving in all Lumia Windows Phone 8 phones by the end of September. Be patient - it's coming!"
