Lumia Cyan + WP 8.1 is now available for all Lumia series except 625 in Pakistan.

- - - Updated - - -

Is Lumia 928 (10/10 condition, fresh import) a good purchase in 18k? Also can it be upgraded to WP8.1?
928 is T Mobile Locked if I remember correctly and it would depend whether T-Mobile enable update for it or not.

Its actually on Verizon but the set which Im getting is unlocked.
Sorry I confused. LOL!! Even if its unlocked, it does not mean that you will get updates since updates roll out still depends on carrier testing in case of Android and Windows Phone, although Apple does not need testing from carrier since they do that their own.
So IMO it would be risky move, unlocked from all carrier craps and being only International variant would be possible to get updates quicker. If you have access to it, read its RM-9xxx etc like code, from Extra+Infos app, it would mention which region updates it follows, like mine L520 has RM-914ma (Middle East)..

So official update is the only way to update to Cyan? Or we can install it manually?
Official is the only way. Downgrade from your WP 8.1 Developer Preview and then you can get Lumia Cyan. If you have Lumia Black then your Windows Phone 8.1 update is just Developer Preview not official update.

AoA
need to buy a windows phone for my sister. Budget is between 20-25k.
No one in the family has owned a windows phone before. We all are android users. She has been using Galaxy s4 and galaxy core.
Good battery life, lag free, reasonable camera and comfortable easy use is what we are looking at.

Any suggestions and help will be appreciated.

Lumia phones have better cameras,nice displays , long battery life and comparatively better memory management,
If you can increase ur budget little bit 2-3k you can find Lumia 1020 the best camera phone made, other options are lumia icon, lumia 928

    Score 1 for game pass. I wouldn't pay full price for this at retail either.

    Just downloaded my first legit digital PC game on GoG at a discount of $8: Two Point Hospital. The same team behind Theme Hospital Two Point Studios now part of Sega. And I am having more fun than most recent AAA games except of course BG3.

    Still, I don't like either Sony or Microsoft as they are focusing more on corporate greed than delighting customers. PC gaming is best of gaming and worth every penny.

    PC Gamer score of 58/100 for Hellblade 2??? Is it really worse than Gollum that was 64/100? Microsoft games can't even come close to high scores of Sony exclusives apparently.

    About the Microsoft (and Sony) debate, I feel both have become too greedy and losing their minds over corporate greed. Personally, I will never buy any console next gen and switch to PC gaming where democracy reins.

    did you try setting up Google Payments? For UBL you may have to get it enabled for internet transactions, Naya should work without it!
