Hey Guys,
Got some great news for all you Nokia fans out there! You all will be delighted to know that we’re currently testing and working closely with Nokia UK to unveil the Windows Phone 7.8 software update for Lumia 610, Lumia 710, Lumia 800 and Lumia 900 soon to ensure it delivers a superb user experience.
Once we have a green light for the roll-out, we’ll update this post and O2 customers will be available to download the update via Zune. Exciting times, right?! Meanwhile, I’m curious to know which particular feature from the latest version (7.8) are you guys waiting for?
Update 31/01/2013: WP 7.8 is live for Lumia 610, 710, 800, and 900 and WP 8 PR 1.1 for Lumia 820 (OTA).
What does the update include? For Lumia 610, 710 & 800 devices, it includes:
• New features to the Start Screen, new colors and lock screen improvements.
• WP 7.8 OS includes enablers for new apps such as Bluetooth Share and Ringtone Maker.
For Lumia 820 devices, improvements include:
• Increasing device performance
• Browser enhancements and new ringtone capability.
• Improvements to the general functionality of the phone including NFC pairing, battery monitor performance and bluetooth connectivity.
Cheers, Abs

Hi Guys,
Microsoft has identified a minor issue in the Windows Phone 7.8 software update for Nokia lumia 610, 710, 800 & 900 and have temporarily paused the delivery until it’s addressed. Customers who were unable to update their devices to WP 7.8 earlier will get the update by the end of this month. Sorry for any inconvenience caused.
Just to clarify, customers who have already got Windows Phone 7.8 update for their lumia devices should be working fine.
Thanks, Abs

I installed the 7.8 update on the 31/1/13. Ever since i have had serious problems with the Live Tiles not working and numerous things including havng to re charge the battery every 9-10 hours. Whilst i know that Microsoft has issued the update but i have been unable to get any possitive solution from O2 when i will get the revised update. i spoke to customer servvice the where partly helpfull as they didnot know the Nokia Lumia 800 was having problems the requested that i contact Nokia which is pointless as we already new that Microsoft was allready working on the fix. Perhaps O2 could confirm when everyone that recieved the Initial upgrade . Will now need for the update to be instigated to get all the functions working correctly

Sounds familiar, only I have not had the update yet. When I contacted O2 they put me through to their Broadband department thinking that 7.8 was a desktop computer software?
I really have to say I lost all faith in O2 at that point; only 11 months to go on my contract and it will be too late for the upgrade then. EE here I come.

I have been checking my phone and going to Market Place but still no update available. It would be nice if O2 could let us know what is going on why the Microsoft update has not been made available to everyone. I noted that the Message left by the O2 member indicates that all the people they had installed the 7.8 the phones would be operating correctly. O2 should let people what is going on as to whether O2 are testing the update hopefully not it will take for ever.

That last reply is really unhelpfull they should be contacting Microsoft or Nokia and for O2 to get the update to everyone. Also i and many other people with the same proble have with phone not using a majority of it function the battery without any warning you need to get phone recharged or it will shut down completely means that have problems if your out you have to plug at other peoples houses if your out.the phone will shut of completely.. Some usefull information would be appreciated when we can look foward to all the functions working and the Live Tiles where i have bought the Apps dont work.

My main concern is that O2 dont appear to getting there finger out the Microsft has been available for a while. The other Networks must be passing the software as i heard from people that there phones are working correctly even the Live Apps that had paid for with the developers. Lets hope O2 want to get the problems resolved as soon as possible.
