According to Microsoft:
Changes in Windows Phone 8 Update ‘Portico’ 8.0.10211.204.
Messaging improvements. A great messaging experience is now even better. You can now add multiple recipients at the same time when you send a text message and automatically save unsent text messages as drafts. You can even edit received text messages before you forward them.
Text replies to incoming calls. Can’t take a call? Now you can send a prewritten text reply to a caller directly from the call answer screen. It’s a nice way to let people know that you’re not ignoring them.
Internet Explorer improvements. You can now change your settings to prevent pictures from downloading automatically—an easy way to help keep data usage low. You can also delete selected sites from your browsing history and leave the rest intact.
Wi-Fi connectivity. Got a favorite Wi-Fi network? Windows Phone 8 will now prioritize Wi-Fi connections based on your connection history.
Other improvements. Includes many other improvements to Windows Phone.

i got this update yesterday as soon as i walked out the AT&T store.
Having issues with update?
Just purchased and went to update and says "update downloaded but cannot open (80188253)" Any idea how to correct?
If I flashed the ROM using Nokia Care Suite and NaviFirm, does it include the camera and other Nokia firmware updates as well?

My upgrade from a Touch HD was overdue from Orange and went for the WP7 Mozart.
I know this platform is new but cannot live with the shortcomings - will wait until obvious issues are addressed.
Good
Very well made.
Speed of O/S.
Camera far better than Touch HD.
Zune works well.
External speaker.
Not so good
Felt very "slippy in my hands" can see this being dropped !
Syncing contacts from Outlook 2002 first time is a nightmare.
Signing up a Hotmail account and Windows Live which I did not want to do but had to - to achieve the sync.
The sync was messy as it imported email accounts as a seperate entry.
Cannot import my Calender unless I buy a more recent version of Outlook and load Outlook Connector.
Cannot use a customised ringtone or alarm alert.
Text messages are displayed in a small box - cannot make larger.
To phone a recent contact takes a few presses.
No way to increase storage - 30 mp3 downloade from PC and only 5gb left.
Cannot use my TomTom.
Cannot record calls.
Cannot import my text messages.
Cannot Bluetooth anything to another device.
I was told by Orange that the Desire HD will come in November - so will give this a go.
Sorry to be so negative but I will wait a bit longer for WP7.

Wait- your still using Office 2002?
Ah
I use Microsoft Office 2010 Home and Student which does not have Outlook.
I had an old copy of 2002 Outlook which I have used for contacts and calender for a while now which syncs with WMDC on Win 7.

First it is WP7 not WM7. Anyway the not so good are not a deal breaker for me. I'm gonna get it still. After being through Android, i don't think i wanna use it again.
Last line duly edited
I just upgraded to the Mozart from the HD as well. Seriously thinking that I will send it back too and wait for the Desire HD on Orange.
While for myself I didn't find a number of the faults the OP had such as slippery, syncing, calling recent contacts...
It is fast and has some nice features but things like lack of copy/paste, file explorer etc are too big failings not to have for my use.
I also don't like the over reliance on Zune and hotmail. The keyboard is slow compared to the regular HTC keyboard if you type a lot with mixed letters/numbers and shift accessed characters.
Also the 8GB of storage is misleading - you really only have about 6GB of usable storage which is very limiting.
Will struggle through the rest of my trial period and see how I get on...
i belive you only have 6gb because it allocates space for thing like game and apps, you can change this in zune in the phone options
*when i say zune i mean the software on you computer
Surely feels like you I will drop the device any time now!
However I sync my hotmail and my work email via exchange so no need for direct outlook sync. But seriously, you are trying to sync it with an 8 year old program no wonder you get issues. Actually, I am surprised it even works at all.
I've got a WM6.5 device and I want to transfer all the contacts to my Mozart. They're already synced to Microsoft's My Phone service (http://myphone.microsoft.com/), but I can't see a way of getting the Mozart to sync them back into the new device. I'm amazed if it really can't sync to My Phone, just seems another step backwards for WP7. I've searched the forums, I'm surprised more people aren't complaining about this so perhaps I've done something wrong!
Otherwise, what's the best way of getting my phone contacts from WM6.5 onto WP7?
Thanks
AFAIK , My Phone - like Mesh - was a bit of a trial-run service that never really got going - partly becuase almost everything it offered was already available on their other services.
the short answer is : no, i don't think there's any way to get the data from there onto your WP7 device
it used to run on WM6.x as a separate application - and it wasn't a true mail system as we understand them today. It was more of an app that pushed data files onto a storage area.
MS expect you to use the the Live suite or similar these days for this sort of thing.
OK cheers. There does seem to be support in WP7 for some of the extended functionality from My Phone, such as Where Is My Phone etc.., just none of the syncing to it.
I hate how WP7 seems to assume that my phone contacts will be the same set of people as my Facebook or Windows Live contacts. I have allsorts of numbers in my phone for breakdown services, taxis, pizza etc and I don't want to have to add them to my Live contacts in order to get them on my phone. It's nonsense. I just want to copy the phone contacts from one device to the other. Unbelievable that I cannot.
what you would need to do is sync your contacts etc from your Wm6.5 phone to hotmail (either on the phone or via outlook which would probably be easier), then sync the WM7 device to the same acocunt.
it's SOOO annoying! i used the myphone backup service every day on my WinMo6... i have 1000's of texts on there, i'd really like to restore them on my my new WM7, but can't! i'm really struggling to get even get a 3rd party app... Boo to m$ for not making the new OS backwards compatible

Hello,
I have been working on an application named Greasy IM for Windows Phone 8.
I'm hoping I could get some people that would like to beta test this application prior to it being publicly published on the marketplace that way I can get the bugs out of the code.
As this application approx. 450KB's I have two options of you being able to get this application.
1) You can download from here on XDA (you must sideload the application onto your Windows Phone device)
2) You can access the beta directly on Microsoft's marketplace (where the newest updates will be posted first).
If you would like to be able to access the beta directly on Microsoft's marketplace, I must get your Microsoft e-mail account that is associated with your Windows Phone per Microsoft's requirements, however, if you would rather get it from XDA-Developers and sideload the application onto your Windows Phone device you can get the application in the attachments below.
Also, if you do download this application, please be sure to reply to this thread with the following information:
1) Windows Phone 8 Device (HTC 8X, Nokia Lumia 1020, Nokia Lumia 822, etc...)
2) Any problems you may have with the application.
As of now, the only protocol that actually works with this application is AOL Instant Messenger (AIM), so, do not be surprised if your other accounts do not activate.
This is being developed by one person (me), and I would gladly accept any help that is offered such as translations, bug reports, feature suggestions, design suggestions & complaints, etc..
Thank you.
I have not been working on this project much lately, however, I do have a new update for everyone that is interested!
v1.0.1:
Added new features
Fixed ability to log in to AOL Instant Messenger
Ability to Send / Receive IM's
Future v1.0.2:
Contact List Working
Chats List Working
Some requested features will be input.
Reported bugs will be fixed.
Please feel free to let me know if you can help by reporting bugs, feature requests, translations, etc...
