Update:
After the previous updating from WP 7.5 to 7.8, lots of users found the issue that Lumia cell phone battery power gone more fast than before. so later Microsoft released another update version 7.10.8860.142, the last version was 7.10.8858.136.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We did not know when the Windows Phone 7.8 was available to push in Canada, but we just realized the Windows Phone 7.8 has been provided when we connected our Lumia 900 to PC using Zune software today.
Note: Our Lumia 900 was originally from Rogers, but we are currently using 7-11 speakout service which is actually using Rogers network. So we have not tested other Lumia phone which are from others cell phone network service providers.
And, during the update process, we found the interesting thing is that the updating is NOT only once time updating.
The following is the first window when we connected the Lumia 900 to computer, it noticed us a phone update is available, the new Windows Phone OS version is 7.10.8779.8.
When you click “UPDATE NOW” button, after some backup things, you will see Zune software start the phone update process, meanwhile, you will see your Lumia 900 restarted several times.
When the updating finished successfully. we see another updating followed right away, this time the OS version is 7.10.8783.12:
After the above update installed, there is another update found again, so the update is continued, now we can see the information which is about Windows phone new UI: Provides a new Start Screen experience with resizable small, medium, and large Live Tiles:
Finally, after another cell phone restart, there is no more update found. so the update finished. our Windows Phone 7.5 now updated to Windows Phone 7.8.
We have to find the newest OS version information through our cell phone, it is 7.10.8858.136.
