Nokia recently announced its first Windows Phone devices, the Nokia Lumia 710 and the Nokia Lumia 800. The Lumia 800 will go on sale in Europe later this month, and it looks like Nokia will be releasing a software update to add new features to their flagship Windows Phone.
According to the guys over at Win Rumors, the update for the Nokia Lumia 800 will add the ability for WiFi tethering, and you will be able to connect other devices to it, a feature which is available in other Windows 7.5 devices. This is a significant enhancement as WiFi tethering allows users to share their phone’s internet connection with other devices, such as laptops and tablets, making it a versatile tool for both personal and professional use.
Importance of WiFi Tethering
WiFi tethering is a crucial feature for many smartphone users. It transforms the phone into a mobile hotspot, providing internet access to multiple devices simultaneously. This can be particularly useful in situations where traditional WiFi networks are unavailable, such as during travel or in remote locations. For business professionals, it ensures that they can stay connected and productive regardless of their location. Students can also benefit by having reliable internet access for their studies and research.
“Microsoft takes very seriously meeting (and exceeding) the requirements outlined by agencies such as the FCC in the USA. They felt it was really important to fully address the concerns raised by recent FCC regulations before enabling this feature and are optimistic they can deliver on these requirements through a software update and are working diligently on that now.
Future Updates and Enhancements
There are no details as yet on when Nokia will release the tethering update for the Lumia 800. However, this update is just one of many that users can expect as Nokia continues to refine and enhance their Windows Phone offerings. Future updates may include improvements in battery life, camera functionality, and user interface enhancements, all aimed at providing a better user experience.
Nokia’s commitment to regular updates ensures that their devices remain competitive and up-to-date with the latest technological advancements. This is particularly important in the fast-paced world of smartphones, where new features and improvements are constantly being developed.
As soon as we get some more information, we will let you guys know. Stay tuned for more updates on the Nokia Lumia 800 and other Nokia devices.
