Update to Windows Phone 7.8 has started rolling out for the Nokia Lumia 800. The update introduced a WP8-like UI to the first-gen Nokia Lumia phones.
We first reported the roll-out back in December but it turns out, it was just for the pre-prod model only.
Today, reports are coming in that Philippine users can now download WP 7.8 for the final update. To check for the update, just connect your Lumia 800 to your PC/laptop and fire up Zune Media Player to initiate the download.
Since old Lumia phones will not be able to upgrade to WP8 {see reasons here}, Windows Phone 7.8 is the last biggest software update for them.

I just updated my lumia 900 last feb 1st, then I noticed that battery drops very fast, bluetooth share apps still not working… may be need to go back to 7.5
meron na po ba for lumia 710?? thanks.
I can’t believe it but the “disconnecting trick” does work. Updating my Lumia 610 (globe locked) right now.
Updated my unlocked Lumia 800 with wpcentral’s cable disconnect trick.
with Bluetooth share but Ringtone maker app still missing.
ayaw gumana sa akin nung disconnect trick. Di ko alam kung may mali ba sa timing ko…5 times ko na ginagawa, laging stuck sa “checking for updates”
Did the plug unplug thing to force the update several times pero nothing happened. May kinalaman ba network operator dito? Sun subscriber ako e. Lumia 900 unit ko.
Just plug-in your device and update through zune.. easy :).
Try this if wala pa kayo nakapag.update.. I used this to update my lumia 900..

It took this long for these so-called “improvements”?
The WP7.8 update is also available for HTC Radar. Updated mine already. :)
Where did you update your phone? I connected my phone to Zune and nothing happened. :(
I just plugged my phone into my computer then launched Zune. It instantly told me that an update was available.
I wish update for Lumia 610 will come soon too.. sana bukas na :)
