Microsoft says Q1 2013 for WP7.8 update

There were rumours running around that today would be the day we would see the WP7.8 update. I’m a bit jaded regarding the Nokia scene with updates (remember the never ending promises for the Symbian ones? Though they did become more on time later on).

News from Microsoft says it’s coming ‘early Q1, 2013’ the same time the WP8 Apollo+ update perhaps?

We know you’re eager to get the Windows Phone 7.8 update, and we want you to know that we’re working closely with our hardware and carrier partners to get it tested, approved, and rolled out to as many devices as possible in early 2013. As we work to quickly get this in the hands of our loyal users, we’re also striving to deliver a high-quality release and ensure a smooth transition for our widely expanded services.
