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!!

- Expands Windows Phone Marketplace & Xbox Live Support to new countries and regions
- Enhance Chinese Fonts and improves the appearance of Arabic and other languages.
- Some of the missing features are now fulfilled i.e. Internet sharing, Bluetooth sharing
- Apps : Camera Extras, Contact Share, Play To and Nokia City Lens.
Hi Ashish,
