It’s true that Windows Phone 8 has been getting the spotlight lately, but many International SIM card users have been wondering about Windows Phone 7.8, the update that has been long talked about but has yet to be released.
The good news is, the update has reached RTM status as of yesterday, so if you’re still loving your Nokia Lumias or your HTC Titan II, you shouldn’t have too long to wait. In fact, we could see the update within the next few week if word on the street is any indication.
Still, there’s no doubt that Windows Phone 8 is the future for Microsoft. Windows Phone VP Terry Myerson talked with TechRadar in an interview and had this to say about the future of Windows Phone:
“I would expect both platforms to exist for quite some time, from a global point of view. Windows Phone 7.8 devices will span much lower price points than Windows Phone 8 devices, initially, and given the application compatibility across the platforms, it makes the ecosystem stronger to have more device and more price points. We value every 7 and 7.8 customer we have; we’ll continue to work for them as well but it is true that Windows Phone 8 is our future platform.”
No doubt Microsoft will have happier users on their hands once Windows Phone 7.8 rolls out.
