Anyone got the 4.4.2 KitKat upgrade already?

As all of us know the Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 is Officialy on the Samsung list of devices to be upgraded to 4.4.2 Android KitKat.

The only thing we don`t know is when it will happen, how long we have to wait?

The press release says "select carrier variants." I realize that means not all carriers will choose to push the update, but what about the WiFi-only variety of the Tab 3? How would it get access to the update?

Yeap, If anyone bought it to a carrier,I have a Wi-Fi only version purchased to Amazon in the USA

If I am traveling and have to stay several months in South America, how the upgrade will work or will not recieve it ???

Ok, it wasn't 4.4.2, rather a smaller update adding knox and fixing wifi connectivity issues. The new software version is T217SVPUANB8

Here is what sprint said changed:
Location Menu: An integrated location menu enables users to easily activate GPS, Wi-Fi and mobile networks, while simultaneously checking the battery usage of apps running location service capabilities.
Enhanced Messaging: Hangouts now includes SMS and MMS and a larger assortment of updated Emoji icons.
Upgraded Google Mobile Service
 
After upgrading to kitkat, 'increase legibility' is not available any more and is missing.
It was previously under settings>display and helps enhance clarity of display and fonts.
Have you experienced this issue or any solution ?

The tab 3 7 doesn't have the kitkat update so what are you referring to?
 
I just bought one from Sprint and it has 4.2.2. Where can I find out if it is KitKat? I tried the Kingo Root and it failed.

Update: Got OTA the following day to 4.4.2!
 
BREAKING!!! Sprint releases KitKat for Galaxy tab 3 7.0 SM-T217S
This will be nearly a 500mb file. Make sure your tablet is charged and enjoy! I am at 75% now!
 
What about an update for the WiFi only version? Now that Sprint owners are getting it, does this mean WiFi only people should be getting it soon?
 
All of my other devices are Apple. Can someone please explain to me why there is absolutely no ETA on when other Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 users (WiFi like me) would get KitKat? I would think getting it to WiFi only would be easier than an LTE one.
 
I know I am a fairly new user of an Android tab, but I thought I couldn't download something for a different tablet than my Galaxy Tab 3 7.0.

They are slow when they roll out these updates. ETAs are never announced until the day before through leaks and forums like this.

(I'm waiting for a rooted version myself because OTA updates generally suck)
