Nokia Lumia 2520 Verizon Free Promo Keyboard Orders on Hold

If you bought a Nokia Lumia 2520, you probably sent in your form and MEI info to get the free Power Keyboard cover, just as I did.

I just got a call from the Promo folks, Mike Ramsey from Tic Toc promotions stating that ALL VERIZON 2520 POWER KEYBOARDS FOR THE 2520 WERE ON HOLD BECAUSE THEY WON’T WORK WITH THE VERIZON TABLETS. An over the air firmware update is required from Verizon and that date is unknown. All Verizon customers who sent in the offer are supposed to get a $20 gift voucher offer via email today to diffuse the pain.

Mike stated emphatically that the keyboards would not work with the Lumia 2520 Verizon devices without the over the air update.  He stated that the Verizon keyboards should be shipped by end of next month.  More info as I receive it.
