Will I need to wait for 2degrees to approve 7.8 or will I be rolled out a notification in the coming weeks no matter what? I'm using a Lumia 900 from overseas. Workstation: Intel DH67CL ~ i5-2500 ~ 4GB Corsair RAM (x2) ~ Intel X25-M 80GB SSD Laptop: Dell Inspiron 1564 ~ i5-520M ~ 4.00GB RAM ~ 500GB SATA HDD ~ Win7 Home Premium x64 Common misconceptions.

Build .8858. is the 7.8 build. I note that the Telecom version is still showing 7.5 as the highest available

freitasm: Good work then. What about the other OEM available in New Zealand? The HTC Trophy (which my wife's using on 2degrees) and the LG (which I use everyday at home as a "wifi tablet" kind)? All the WP7 devices sold in NZ should receive the 7.8 update, including the HTC Trophy and LG optimus 7 q.

Well, my Trophy has noticed, and is now installing, update 7.10.8112.7. Which seems to be about SMS messaging and SIM contacts. Hopefully once that's done, it'll do 7.8 next. I still don't know why they put that bit about updates being cumulative - it never just installs the most recent update, it does all the little ones along the way.

Has the same description text as the last one, but a different number.

My 8858.136 update was indeed 7.8, its finished, and looks all pretty. Its even changed the Windows Phone splash screen on startup from the black background to a pretty blue with the new logo.

Microsoft promised that users would never miss a second update, which would always come with the previous one, even if the telco decided to hold the previous one off...
