Starting with the Lumia 520, the device is still in the "Waiting for approval" phases with carriers Bouygues and LPM. The Lumia 520's Windows Phone 8 Amber Update is available, however, with carrier Orange.
The Lumia 620 and Lumia 720's Amber Update are also awaiting approval though a "Country variant" carrier.
The Lumia 820's update is currently available from carriers Bouygues and Orange, but a "Country variant" remains in the "Waiting" stage.
Finally, the Lumia 920 can receive the Windows Phone 8 Amber Update from carrier Orange, but SFR subscribers will have to wait longer due to its "Waiting for approval" listing.
Nokia has defined the term "waiting for approval" as undergoing final testing with either the specific country or mobile carrier before approval.
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!"
According to Nokia, "To make sure you don't miss out on the notification, check on your phone that under Settings > Phone Update > 'Tell me when updates are available for my phone' is enabled."
