Anyone out there with a WP7.5 mobile (Nokia Lumia anyone???) ??

MS released WP7.8 nearly a week ago but AFAIU the roll out is via networks providers and not direct from MS (for users with branded phones).

I have a Lumia 800 (on T-Mobile UK... now EE I suppose) and, although a couple of mates on other networks have got the 7.8 update, I haven't.

Anyone with a similar experience? ...

Have a look on xda developers.... you should find what you need over there.

yeah have seen the availability of CAB files etc and have gone that way before with other (HTC Win 6) phones where I had a PAYG deal but (for the first time) I have a phone that's tied to a carrier (T-Mob) and run the risk of screwing it. This wouldn't have bothered me previously but since I'm on a 24 month contract with T-Mob I don't want to end up with a U/S handset & still paying out monthly fees.

No specific word from them but I guess T-Mob will release the update sometime soon but they seem to be slow off the mark.  ...

This is the problem with providers.... I got fed up with this and refuse to buy a branded handset from any one now.

I have a Lumia 610 on a Virgin Mobile contract and got notified of the 7.8 update a week ago. I installed it via Zune without probs.

I was also heading for the "cutting the line trick" to get my debranded LG E900 updated. But I got the update without any tricks yesterday. But the only difference I found so far are the resizable tiles on the start screen and more accentcolors.

...

Debranded phones got it soonest I guess cos the networks didn't filter it / add splash screens/whatever...

7.8 does deliver some extra functionality (& bug fixes no doubt) but the key obvious changes are the resize tiles / colours as you say. Looks v nice I must say.. MUCH better than a cluttered Andr*id screen !!!!
