Default [Q] Is the ota only available in the states?

Going to get my grubby hands on the NS sometime next 2 weeks. I am not in the US. Would I be able to get the OTA? I guess the questions is the OTA device dependent or T-mobile dependent or location dependent?

Happy holidays guys

I'm in the uk. Upgraded yesterday and not received ota yet... including trying the "checkin" numerous times.

Not got the new market yet either.

I don't know for sure, but I would assume the answer would be yes.

Good news is that you can always manually update and that is a fairly straight forward process. See here for more information: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=884097

I'm in the UK and picked my SIM free NS up yesterday evening. I got the OTA within an hour of switching it on.

I'm reconfirming it is not location or provider dependent.
I'm in Montreal on Videotron and I got the update this morning.
