Nokia Lumia 900 Windows 7.8 Update Ready to Roll Out
The Nokia Lumia 900 Windows 7.8 update should be rolling out very soon. The popular mobile gaming website pocketgamer.biz is reporting that the update should arrive in the early part of this year and is already coming pre-installed on other Lumia models.
Nokia confirmed this information in a statement to the site: "With Windows Phone 7.8 beginning to ship pre-loaded on Nokia Lumia smartphones, we will naturally be deploying the software to our factories for product rollout," said Nokia in a statement. "At present we have no more information we can give about wider availability of the update for phones running Windows Phone 7.5."
Nokia appears to be waiting for the word from Microsoft before it begins rolling out the update.
