Update for Nokia Lumia 710 and 800 to Release: Internet Tethering Included
Recently, there have been reports for an update that brings the internet tethering feature to Windows Phones Nokia Lumia 710 and 800. According to the folks over at TheVerge, the Finnish mobile manufacturers are prepping the update for release as we speak. For some versions of the Lumia 710 and the Nokia Lumia 800C (the Chinese variant which runs on a CDMA network), the update has already been rolled out. The imminent release of the date is rumored to be soon but there is no exact date as to when it will be announced as yet.
It is expected to land along with the Windows 7.5 Refresh update that is also called Tango. Many carriers are charging users for internet tethering when they are on a contract for Apple iPhones as well as several Android powered phones. With regards to internet tethering on Windows Phones, the carriers have not many any such announcements yet but there is a chance that they might implement a similar system. As for phones that were purchased unlocked, you will be able to take advantage of the feature that was not touted to be a part of it when both devices were first shipped.
Now here is an interesting leaked render of what is allegedly known as the Nokia C1, which is supposed to be the next smartphone which will feature the Nokia logo – never mind the fact that the Finnish company had already sold its smartphone business to Microsoft some time back. Well, the most interesting aspect about this leaked render would be the fact that it sports an Android operating system on the foreground, while another model hiding behind it looks as though it runs on Windows 10 Mobile.
Does this mean that we will have to face not one, but two variants of the same device? Only time will be able to tell, but for the moment, it will be an agonizing wait until 2016 as that is when the alleged Nokia C1 smartphone will launch then.
So, you happen to be rocking to one of the older Lumia handsets from Nokia, and would love to check out what all the hoo-haa is about concerning Windows 10 Mobile. If you happen to live in Poland, then here is a spot of good news for you to kick start your week – the Windows 10 Mobile update will be heading to the likes of the Lumia 630, 635, 640, 735, and 830 this coming December 14, whereas those who happen to be making use of the Lumia 520, 532, 625, 720, 820, 920, 925, 930, 1020, and 1320, will have to wait until February 1st next year.
Again, bear in mind that the Windows 10 Mobile update will only affect those smartphones which were purchased from Orange in Poland, so if you happen to own any of the above mentioned devices but from different people, then you would have to give the updates a miss.
A quick look at the calendar shows that we are still in March – early March, in fact, and April is still some ways of. Still, this has not stopped the fact that an alleged leak of a Nokia 1100 has been benchmarked, and in that particular benchmark, it revealed that the Nokia 1100 would sport Android 5.0 Lollipop as the mobile operating system version of choice – how cool would that be if it were to be true?
Other hardware specifications in the alleged leaked benchmark sheet point to a quad-core MT6582 processor which has been clocked at 1.3GHz, a 720p resolution display, and most probably 512MB RAM. We would take this bit of information with more than just a pinch of salt – perhaps and entire tablespoonful.
