The latest version of Windows Phone was launched recently, and later, a
number of handsets sporting the new OS have hit the shelves. The
question on the minds of those who purchased handsets before the arrival
of Windows Phone 8 is when their handsets will be updated to Windows
Phone 7.8. As per a report by Tonis Tech Blog, this operating system could be launched on Wednesday, thus giving users a clearer time frame for receiving the update.
It was known that once Microsoft launched Windows Phone 8, the older handsets would be upgraded to Windows Phone 7.8. The report by Tonis Tech Blog does not shed much light on this situation.
a slide leaked online shows some features of Windows Phone 7.8. Apart
from the new Start screen featured in Windows Phone 8, which had already
been announced, there are improvements to the browser as well. The
upcoming operating system will not feature the Internet Explorer 10; it
is believed that Microsoft will add some enhancements to IE9 instead.
The report stated that other enhancements to the upcoming OS for legacy handsets such as the Lumia 800 are more colour themes; support for editing MP3 files on the handset itself, which can be used to make ringtones; and access to the Windows Phone 8 Lock screen that enables users to change their wallpapers with new images through apps.
The slide reveals that Nokia too is adding some of its own improvements such as the Contacts Transfer app as well as features to share content via Bluetooth.
After Tonis Tech Blog reported the tentative release date, a Microsoft spokesperson contacted Tech Crunch and stated, “We have made no further announcement on this but hope to share more details in the near future.” This falls in line with the possible launch date revealed by Tonis Tech Blog.
