    Hi,

    First of all, they want as much people as possible to switch to wp8 so that they can dedicate their support to wp8. secondly, this is a holiday season, so its time for new devices to be sold (and to be sold well), if they release 7.8 now, most people would still buy 7.5 devices and get it updated to 7.8 (which for a non technical person looks more or less like wp8).


    now, can anyone confirm if 7.8 is available for NL900 in india?
