In addition to announcing the availability of the new Pink Lumia 900, AT&T today have also confirmed that the Tango update (either build 8773 or the slightly newer 8779) will too exist coming to the Lumia 900. From the AT&T blog:

"Nokia is also bringing a lot of new enhancements to the Lumia 900. Nokia Lumia users will brainstorm to encounter software updates for Windows Telephone 7.five Refresh in the coming weeks, which will add together several new capabilities to their devices including flip-to-silence."

We detail some of those new capabilities here in a previous post--in short, enhancements to MMS including multiple messages, voice notes and some minor fixes are included. In addition, AT&T reiterated that Nokia volition be bringing a usage tracking counter and a new contact sharing feature in the near future as well, standing Nokia's trend to "fill the gaps" in Windows Phone for its customers.

Finally, it has been confirmed that those super pop Zynga games—Draw Something and Words with Friends—volition be coming this fall exclusively to Nokia Lumia phones for the get-go sixty days. While these exclusivity agreements often annoy non-Lumia owners, the threescore day wait should not be too bad of a wait and seems fair to u.s. (assuming Nokia was vital to the bargain and assisted Zynga financially).

Overall, not bad news at all and it at least the Lumia 900 is continuing to become direct back up from Nokia.

There'due south no word if other AT&T Windows Phones will exist getting Tango as well but seeing as the Focus S, Focus Wink and unlocked Dell Venue Pro already are nosotros're confident that the HTC Titan II and Titan I volition too.
