The Windows Phone 8 Amber Update has made its way available to more Nokia Lumia devices in the United Kingdom.
First with the Lumia 520, the Windows Phone 8 Amber Update is available for Everything Everywhere (EE), O2, and Vodafone. The Lumia 520, however, is still in the "Waiting for approval" phase from mobile carrier 3 UK.

Nokia defines "waiting for approval" as undergoing final test with either the specific country or mobile carrier before approval.
Unlike the Lumia 520, 3UK has the Lumia 620's Windows Phone 8 rolling out. O2, Virgin Mobile, and Vodafone have also released the Amber Update for the Lumia 620.
The Lumia 720's update is available from O2.
The Lumia 820's Windows Phone 8 Amber Update has rolled out from carriers EE, O2, and Vodafone.
Finally, EE, O2, and Vodafone has released the Windows Phone 8 Update for the Lumia 920.
The Windows Phone 8 Amber Update includes improvements to 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!"
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."
