Video : Whats new in Windows Phone 7.8 and How to upgrade

Finally!! After I heard the updates were getting rolled out, I plugged in my Lumia 610 to see if there was any update. This time there is one and the first one to appear was : Nokia Lumia Update for Windows Phone. This update has two major feature listed :

• Provides Support for phones without physical camera button.
• Provides other Windows Phone Improvement

The first point is interesting because I haven’t see a Lumia phone without a camera button and the second update looks like some kind of bug fix as there is another update waiting to roll in after you finish updating it.

How to update :

• Make sure to have Zune installed on your computer.
• Connect your phone with PC using the USB cable.
• Once Zune detects your Phone, Go to Settings > Update and check if you have an update.

In case you don’t see an update and are ready to take some risk, check out the Force Update Method!!
