Nokia started the delivery of a software update for the Nokia Lumia 800 yesterday.
The update brings a number of performance and usability enhancements including:
Charging improvements
Voicemail notification improvement
Replying to mail improved for Microsoft Exchange 2003 users
Improved display switching in bright light
Improved audio quality
The update can be installed by connecting your Lumia to Zune. Nokia has also promised a second update in early 2012 to even further improve the Lumia experience.
Those who have a thing for changelogs are in luck. Microsoft just published a changelog of every Windows Phone update to date. You can easily see that the latest update for instance came with the following changes:
Update 7.10.7740.16
Email threads. Fixes an email issue related to Microsoft Exchange Server 2003. With this fix, when you reply to or forward a message, the original message is now included in your response.
Voicemail. Fixes a voicemail notification display issue that occurs on some European and Asian networks under certain conditions.
This update is available only in certain markets.
Let’s hope they continue updating this document in the future too.
