Windows Phone 8.1 will hit existing devices “in the next few months”

Now that Microsoft has made Windows Phone 8.1 official, the question on everyone’s lips is when it will become available to our handsets.

For new devices it will be at the end of April and Early May, but for the rest of us we can expect the OS update “will start rolling out to consumers in the next few months.”

Microsoft has not announced the availability of the developer preview yet.

Update: Microsoft has just confirmed that the Windows Phone Developer preview will be coming to Registered Windows Phone developers and also App Studio Developers this month.
