Well.. so far... Bluetooth goes in and out (disconnects and reconnects) and Nokia Transport cannot resume (so if the lock screen activates or you swap to the start screen it crashes on resume..)
Havn't really seen any advantages apart from the start screen icon resizing

Interesting. Thanks.

The Bluetooth issue would be a problem, because I'm connected often enough.

Camera seems better, especially in low light (lumia 800).

Same here, very devastated on the restart to still see only two rows of icons. I'm on Orange.

Good things come to those who wait.

woohooparty It's updating to 7.10.8858.136 Hello 7.8 biggrin
But my contract is up for renewal in November so only a few more months and I will be able to go up to the full fat version of 8, not just 7 in a pretty frock.

I'm pretty sure you guys could have forced the update using the Nokia tools. It's literally a 2 minute job.

Windows 7.8 has been nothing short of a shambles.

Customer service is one of the most important thing MS need before they try to compete with competitors but they can't even get that right.

Microsoft are constrained by the carriers in the same way as Android. This means after Microsoft release the update, it's at the carriers' mercy as to when it gets deployed. If you stick a cynical hat on (I do this often smile), how much incentive do you think there is for carriers to be urgent (which costs money) about getting updates out for a product they've already sold? Android has had the same problem, especially pre-4.0.

Apple operate differently, in that they insisted on full control of update deployments. This isn't typical, and Apple are lucky to have this arrangement in my opinion.

Apple has always been different, they have control over the whole monopoly, like when the original Iphone first came to the UK the only network you could have it on was O2.
