8773 is Tango. (there's also 8779 - which is still Tango with some (?) improvements or fixes)
Interesting though, I visited the page earlier today and 8107 was the latest update shown there.
@ZetaZynK is correct. WP7.8's feature list isn't announced yet (aside from the new Start screen). Tango, which is what you listed, is already being pushed to some phones. WP7.8 won't start arriving until probably late in the fall.

Here is something that doesn't make sense to me. Okay it's cool that you can now add a ringtone as an attachment but if you send it from your WP to another What the ????? All you can do is listen to it but not save it to your ringones on your phone? Really? What's the use?
i don't think so, :cyclops:but 7.8 is closer for us

I remember reading somewhere that its not possible to do video or picture messaging on windows phone 7 is that a carrier issue or did microsoft leave that out? will that be implemented in the future?
picture messaging works fine, its video messaging that is missing. Not sure when its gonna get added. Seems that was MS decision (though carriers could have pushed for it).

Picture messaging works fine, you can receive video messages, but you cannot send them (except that you can forward video messages that you have received).
Not on this phone
Interesting, no my htc surround on at&t does not receive video messages not to mention not being able to send them. This is my biggest beef with wp7. A good laugh at lunch would be appreciated. Dumb phones can do this. Is it too lowbrow for Ms and their metro UI? It may seem trite but the wp7 is a visual medium. Video messaging goes hand in hand with social networking and is sorely missed.
Have most WP7's always been able to receive video messages, or is that something that came with the NoDo update? I don't remember it ever working and the next day after installing the updates I received one.

There is no way a carrier pushed for the lack of video messaging in WP7, when every other smartphone OS on every other carrier does it.
Video messaging is never an issue for them because there are size limitations in MMS and most if not all phones compress (rather heavily) the video, anyways, just as they do teh photos.
It just sucks because a lot of people still have feature phones and Picture/Video MMS functionality is a must for communicating with these people.
Ask winpho support on twitter & they said they had no info when vid msgs were coming...Pisses me off.....

MMS messages can be sent & received but they just show a static image & don't play. This has been the case since before NoDo.

For those with Mango are you able to multi select text messages to delete like you can with the email client?
I dont know why this wasnt implemented into the original build but its irritating deleting each conversation one by one..
Also how is the visual voicemail on Mango? Currently im using Magik mail and I love it. Im able to set different greetings for my voicemail. The program is smart enough to greet my callers with theri own name which I find to be cool. The greetings provided are very professional and different. Is the mango version anything like Magik Mail
can't tell you about vvm, as i use google voice for my voicemail.
there is no multi select ability for messages though, not in the beta build at least...
what about multi select for picture management? the process to delete multiple pictures is similarly painful as it is for sms in nodo
I just downloaded the latest update for windows phone, and they said that one of the improvements was that I could export contacts from my phone to the SIM card now. But I still can't find a option or something that lets me export my contacts. Can someone help me on this? Thanks in advance!
Yeah, me too Seems that such an option exists for a limited number of Windows Phones.
Also there is no Location Services Icon in the status bar when an app uses my location, do you have the same problem?
At least the WiFi Bug seems to be fixed.
Same situation here with my Titan.
Don't see the option to Export contacts to SIM and the icon doesn't appear...
2nd generation windows phones also got Voice notes and ringtones via mms. 1st Gen did not... used cabsender on my titan... i got the options... same packages to wifes surround and coworkers trophy, and they only get picture and video for attachments.
en, i can't do this too, it's hard to use wp7 to do such a simple function:crying:

The weird thing is that I have a LG E900 (1st Gen) and while I don't have the option to add a voice note to a message (MMS), I do have the option to add pictures and videos and ringtones.
I just got my HTC HD7 Tango update in two installments and I still don't see the phone to sim contacts feature. I initially thought the Tango update will come in three installments as someone posted here some time ago but I got two....is there a problem? and can it be the reason why I don't see the phone to sim contact transfer feature?
Anyway my build number after install is (8773).
Which build is the (8779)?

True Phone Dialer & Contacts - Apps on Google Play
Powerful T9 phone and contact manager with dual SIM support and call recorder
play.google.com
I have been using True Phone Dialer & Contacts from Hamster Beat for the past 6 years and it has been amazing.
It has some usual features such as customisation of incoming screen and T9 searching however its most important feature for me has been Dual SIM support and masking or contact binding.
I have two carriers in my phone with free unlimited same carrier calling so I have created rules to only call those carrier numbers from their own SIM card which has cut my phone bill by 70% atleast.
Also another amazing feature it directly calling unknown (not saved in my contacts) numbers through WhatsApp from my call history.
Past few months some features such as WhatsApp direct dialing have stopped working, also many of my contacts are missing from the contact list.
After trying to contact the developer past few months (paid customer) I have given up, the developer is based in russia so not sure if he is even in business anymore.
Can the good folks here at XDA please recommend alternatives (especially with DUAL SIM support as mentioned above)?
Thanks in advance
