AT&T subscribers who own a Nokia Windows Phone are about to get an update that international users have been enjoying for months.
The update, known as "Amber," is rolling out to Nokia's Lumia 820 and Lumia 920 Windows Phones today. (The update was pre-loaded on Nokia's Lumia 1020.) Microsoft's GDR2 update for Windows Phone is also included in the rollout.
As described back in July, GDR2 adds CalDAV and CardDAV support, which will eventually be required to sync Google services (such as Gmail, Contacts and Calendar) with Windows Phones. Currently, Windows Phone relies on Microsoft's Exchange ActiveSync for these services, but Google is dropping support for the protocol on Windows Phone at the end of the year.
GDR2 also adds FM Radio support and includes some smaller tweaks such as an improved Xbox Music interface, performance improvements for Skype, better HTML5 compatibility in Internet Explorer and the ability to set a default Lens in the Camera app.
