More details and questions about Windows Phone 7.8
Some more details about Windows Phone 7.8 have come to light, these after a screenshot of the slides being projected at a training event has been leaked in China for vendors of Nokia equipment.
In this slide that the people of WMPowerUser were in charge of translating, we see some of the news that will reach all current phones with the long-awaited update, among which is confirmed once again resizable tiles in three different sizes as well as the 20 new colors of this unique interface.
And now yes, the other novelties that are mentioned and are almost assured to have are: an improved lock screen to which It adds the Bing wallpapers, we are not sure that it will have the same capabilities as the live apps, although the notifications would improve and perhaps the possibility of selecting third-party applications for these will be incorporated.
Internet Explorer would be updated to offer some security improvements, we don't know if we will have the same advantages as in the version included in Windows Phone 8, but some important ones that are related to security if we will get them with the update.
Another new feature announced is that of selecting an MP3 file as ringtone, which is not very appreciable, at least for Eh, yes, it's nice to have the opportunity for more personalization on mobile.
And for those of us who remain awaiting the arrival of said update, also these days some other information has leaked, which instead of clarifying our doubts show us a more questionable picture about the actual date of the update.
We knew from Windows Phone Italy that a few weeks after the presentation of Windows Phone 8 the update would arrive, of course counteracting what was said by Chinese sources where it was mentioned that it will be six weeks after the presentation that the update will be integrated with some low-end mobiles from the factory.
And now from Windows Phone Brazil they announce to us through a tweet that the update would arrive in the first quarter of 2013 leaving us with a bad taste mouth for such a long wait.
But on the other hand, just like from a Latin American country on Facebook, the people from Windows Phone 7 Chile mention that in the month of January the update would be available.
So many rumors and words from the administrators of Windows Phone social networks make us doubt the true arrival date of the update, it will be that we could have it before the end of the year , but we know that there is a little less than two months left for this to happen like this I very much doubt that the people of Microsoft want to eclipse the arrival of terminals with Windows Phone 8 with said news.
So what I'm aiming for is get Windows Phone 7.8 by the end of January next year, of course it's a very vague conclusion but I hope and it is fulfilled or at least close to the official date that we hope and will not take long to confirm.
