Second question; when's this love coming?

I am expecting the 7.8 update to be generally available around the time that Windows Phone 8 comes out. With the caveat that your carrier mileage may vary.

Not necessarily. According to Paul Thurrot the update should be delivered directly by Microsoft. Fingers crossed.

I do want to get it early though, because I can update it, play around, and get the new phone. Mine is 1st gen, so it is just in time to renew my contract. I am not sure if 1st gen can upgrade either, I hope it is.

It looks like every WP7.x device will get upgraded to 7.8. I don't think you have anything to worry about.

I don't think there's anything to worry about. They seemed pretty clear that every device that's currently runner 7.5 will get 7.8.

When Windows Phone 8 comes out?  When's that likely to happen?

If its true that this update can bypass the carriers, I don't know if that complicates the time line or makes it easier Expressionless

I hope as a registered software developer for the phone, that I see the update before general availability.

There are various speculations about when Windows 8 will be out. October is my best guess. (I think there are still bugs to work out).

I still don't have the update that fixes the disappearing keyboard bug. I'm glad MS decided to deliver 7.8 directly to the phones this time.

As far as a date, I'd imagine it will coincide with Windows Phone 8, so October 29th?
