Windows Phone 7.8 official rollout to start on January 31

We already lost count of all the rumors,
confirmations and denials of the Windows
Phone 7.8 update. The update itself got
so overhyped that we are sure some
users will be left disappointed, when it
arrives.
Anyway, according to Windows phone
Columbia official Facebook page, the
Windows Phone 7.8 rollout will begin on
January 31.
The date coincides with Microsoft's
promised Q1 launch, as well as the fact
that there are already updated Lumia
smartphones with it, ones that are sold
updated and even Samsung fans recently
learned that the Omnia updates are
complete.
We already got our hands on the Lumia
510 officially running on Windows Phone
7.8 and we've extracted the new
features we found so far for you.
Resizable Live Tiles
Bluetooth File transfer
Bing Picture for Lockscreen wallpaper
New theme colors
Wi-Fi tethering
You can set Google as default search
provider in Internet Explorer
New boot screen
Office 14.5
Updated system and Nokia exclusive apps
Ringtone maker (also available in the
Marketplace)
Counters app (also available in the
Marketplace)
The full review is already in the works,
while you should expect your phone to
get the update itself in 10 days.
