[Abs]

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

Abs has been very quiet!

'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.'

Hi everyone.

The issues on this update are still being worked on. Unfortunately I don't have any new info or a set date yet, but as soon as I receive news, you will be the first to know.

@RGG, how did you get on with talking to them?

Many thanks, Toby

If the issues are still being worked on, why are some people still getting this update pushed to their phone.

Surely the update is working or it is not.

So I've been waiting for this since the end of January.  Any reason why it would not yet have been pushed out to my Lumia 800? I'm starting to get a little frustrated.

The last contribution to this thread by O2 seems to be the pronouncement on the 18th of March that the update would be ready by the end of the month.  Guys, it's NOT GOOD ENOUGH to commit to a deadline like this and then let it slip without keeping us informed.  Can you please let us know what the issue is and what you're doing to rectify the situation?  In the past I've always enjoyed good customer service from O2, but I'm seriously thinking of asking for my PAC code now.

Hello everyone. Could the delay be that the 620 was released last month and the 720 today. Maybe if they leave it long enough well all get fed up and buy these new phones instead of waiting
