Today, we’re learning that T-Mobile users in Poland are the first to to receive the over-the-air upgrade to the consumer version of Windows 10 Mobile.
For now, the Windows 10 Mobile update is limited to Lumia 640 smartphones currently running Windows Phone 8.1 on T-Mobile’s wireless network. Lumia 640 customers are first seeing an update that upgrades the device firmware to version 02177.00000.15184.36002. Once that update has taken place, Windows 10 Mobile can begin beaming directly to your patiently waiting smartphone.
If you don’t see the update right away on your Lumia 640, you can hop over to Settings and select Check for Updates. If you still don’t see the Windows 10 Mobile update, don’t worry. T-Mobile says that it is sending out the update in waves, so you might just have to wait your turn to enjoy yummy Windows 10 Mobile goodness.
The next likely country to receive Windows 10 Mobile is Germany, also courtesy of T-Mobile. The company announced last week the imminent release of Windows 10 Mobile for the following legacy smartphones:
- Nokia Lumia 930
