More and more owners of Lumia 920 devices are seeing the Windows Phone 8 Portico software update as arriving on their devices, it seems.

Vodacom’s users in South Africa are reporting that they have already started to receive it, a recent post on MyNokiaBlog reads.

Previously, the update was spotted on Lumia 920 and Lumia 820 devices on Vodafone’s network in Germany and Italy in Europe, as well as on those in Australia, just as mentioned in our previous articles on the matter.

This shows that Nokia is indeed committed to delivering the new software to its users as fast as possible, just as the company officially confirmed several weeks ago.

Windows Phone 8 Portico brings along various SMS improvements to these devices, along with camera enhancements, and better stability and performance of the platform.
