it has been a general gripe in the developer community that preview updates for Windows Phone are carrier dependant and to say the least the Windows Phone team rarely allowed early access.

But this has changed, the latest update (Update 3) is available as a preview for developers (FEEL THE LOVE) through the new developer program

so

i) You need to have a developer account on dev.windowsphone.com

(if you don't have one, you should coz they are fab)

-or-

ii) You need to have a developer unlocked phone (using the above account)

-or-

iii) have an App Studio account

head over to this page Windows Phone Preview for Developers

the updates for Visual Studio aren’t out yet, but this release has no API changes, I suspect we will have to wait until Windows Phone 8.1 for that Smile

***WARNING*** this update may void your carrier warranty READ the Terms and Conditions
