Earlier this week, Microsoft announced a minor software update that it has begun rolling out to Windows Phone-powered devices worldwide that includes a number of bug fixes for the mobile platform. The company says that the update, which carries the version number 7.10.8107.79, is available for any carrier that requests it and is part of its "ongoing maintenance of Windows Phone." 

Microsoft also stated that in the coming months, it plans to release a number of software updates (as needed) in order to continue to address issues with Windows Phone 7.  

In the months ahead, we’ll continue to send out firmware and maintenance updates as needed. These will be available across the globe—although not everybody will receive or require them. It depends on your country, carrier, and phone model. But remember that you’ll never have to guess when a Windows Phone update is waiting: Just watch for the pop up notification on your device.

The changes included in this update are below:
