[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

Let us know how you got on.  I had this with my HTC and spoke with HTC support who told me that they had authorised the update but it was up to O2 to provide it because my phone is branded O2 despite being unlocked to all networks.

This is absolutely unbelievable, a software update that has been available in a fixed form now for 6 weeks, that should be sent to us by O2, and we are left to run around the country from shop to shop, making call after call to try and get the damn thing on our phone for ourselves.

Still nothing, still no comments from O2.

Nightly ritual now, plug lumia 800 into PC, open Zune, Update, 'Phone is up to date'

Roll on tonights disappointment....

That's the thing, the update is and has been going out for weeks, so it is obviously ready. It is just not getting through to everyone, with no word as to why or when.

if thats the case then O2 should really pull there finger out and get a move-on with getting this up date out

Spoke with the guru in Perth, he said that the update is dependent on the serial number on your phone, longer you've had the phone the sooner you get it.

This is the thing!!! With what I have read from earlier posts from what I can make out is that we are being told different things!! Hard to know what is the truth and what's not!

Just when I completely lost the hope of getting this update, O2 surprised me today early morning by showing me "Update Available" for my Lumia 800. Nevertheless this is way too late to come up with the update but at least they ve released it (pun intended).
