[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

I can't seem to update to 7.8 =(

I've got a Lumia 800 (had it since November 2011) , everytime I try syncing it with the Windows Phone Mac Conncetor it keeps telling me they're are no updates.

Any suggestions guys? 

Thank you!

As much as i wish the update was happening right now! I think its a case of just having to wait for it to come to our areas, they did say microsoft is rolling it out in stages, probably happen around 4am... but atleast we know its going to happen!

Hi my phone did an upgrade yesterday and the software is 7.10.8779.8 ???

I have heard some reports that there are 3 updates in total, is this true??

Feel a little obsessed at waiting for this update tbh, come on 02 give us some indication of maximum time scale that the roll out should be completed for everyone...

A very mixi rabbit!

I'd suggest to keep checking your devices from time to time over the next few days.

Thanks Abs
