[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

Yes it is frustrating, but it is just a simple matter of timing.....but you're right, probably your best bet is to wait until MS roll it out your way, 

I'm in Leicester UK by the way...

cheers!

if you cant be assed with trying to force update, than it matter of being patient and waiting for your phone to get the update from nokia or ms

@tweeter24,

Microsoft - not Nokia or 02, is rolling out this update in batches throughout February.

You have two choices: either to wait, or to 'force' the update using the method described in the last few pages

Hello,

Thanks

Guys,
After many failed atte,pts at forcing the WP7.8 upgrade, I put the phone in "flight" mode, and it worked first time!

[Jag423]

But the upgrade was only to 7.5 :o(

Go your phone , look in settings/about
it should say 'windows software 7.8'

[Jag423]

I did that and it says windows 7.5, I think I'll wait.
