Lumia Denim Check 1.3.0.0
For those who do not want to simply sit and wait until the automatic system updates inform them about new updates, having at hand a tool like Lumia Denim Check might give them a head start. This app displays the state of all Lumia models for the carriers in the selected region in terms of OS availability.
Less visually pleasing and more practical front-end
The interface this application comes with is pretty simple and with decent graphics, but clearly tailored to focus on functionality rather than good looks.
Browsing the various sections of the utility can be carried out seamlessly, without any lags or other similar glitches. The data is neatly structured and made available in a clear manner, so you can access all the details in a straightforward manner.
A neat feature is the built-in jumplist that will enable you to view all the mobile network operators in any country inside a single list and pick the one you are interested in getting details about.
Pick the region of the world and country to view the available updates
Operating Lumia Denim Check is a breeze as most of the time you will only need to make some simple choices and pick a region of the world, then from the list that appears tap the country for which you want to view Windows Phone update info.
While a region is selected you can also view the number of Lumia models that are available in each country and refreshing the information can be easily done with one tap on the corresponding button that resides inside the main menu at the bottom of the screen.
Windows Phone version detail at a glance
The application makes it possible for you to quickly identify which handsets can receive the Denim update, as all the devices that support it have a green tile next to them.
Depending on the mobile network carrier, some models may not be eligible for the respective update, even if the same Lumia model has the upgrade ready at other providers.
By tapping on any Windows Phone device from the list you will reveal the complete version number, no matter if its version is Denim, Cyan or even Amber.
