Help Second OTA update - 1.29

I'm on T-Mobile UK and using an unbranded one X. Has anyone in the same position as me received this update yet? It was release to the rest of Europe about 2 weeks ago. Why is it taking so long to come to the UK? The UK 1.28 update was released at the same time as the rest of Europe, so why is it different this time round?

Still no one seems to have got the update in the UK, this is contrary to what HTC are saying.
I have contacted HTC via their email once & twice in online chat & they are adamant that people have already received the update in the UK.
We all know differently though, i ended up going for the RUU file & updated that way (took 7 minutes on my pc & a further 50 mins to set my phone back up how it was).

so really we are in a situation where, we wont have this sorted out until someone who lives in the uk purchases a uk unlocked phone who also works for htc and tells the tech people who deal with putting out the ota updates, we wont have the update until they realise its not being sent to the uk, because htc support simply wont pass this on to the people that matter, they will simply tell you it is,
on a side note, this EU 1.29 update thats been released is it universal and able to install and work on uk phones e.g for signal settings blah blah and language, if so why would we need a uk one anyway if its technically already out, why dont htc just go back to putting the updates on their website like before it was far easier to do
