Viber has been in the works before the start of this year. Not sure what's taking them so long but its coming. I posted on Original WP7 thread that Viber team said its coming soon enough

I wouldn't bother with the rumours, at the end of the day their just rumour and there's a mixed bag of them.

On a personal opinion if it was to come to 1st gen and 2nd gen devices not being able to fully support Apollo due to hardware requirements Microsoft will still deliver an update to suit the hardware and add features. They cant afford not to, cause it will piss of nearly every single windows phone fan and all the early adopters .

If you follow the trend of Windows (excluding vista) and Windows Phone, each OS requires less and less resources to run. In my opinion this rumour that we might not get it is a full bag of air.

Is it just me or is anyone else disappointed by live tiles? Very few apps seem to support it. And am I right in thinking the none of the Facebook apps have been developed by Facebook themselves?

Apps like? Not every app needs it though.

Theres only one Facebook app on the marketplace. That one is made by Microsoft and its the official one.

Anyways, at least it's good there is some news for WP7 users.

Still no sign of the firmware update being pushed out by Vodafone to my device at least.

Wasnt overly worried about the battery but in the last few days it seems to have been running down very quicky. I turn off the mobile network before going to sleep and did so the last couple of nights with the battery at about 70%.Woke up the next mornings and the battery is down to 5% ! Battery bar shows still 3/4 full and then drops to nearly zero.

Anyway, I forced the firmware update today as per instructions earlier in this thread. Hopefully this will sort the issue out.

Cant. Its the same across all phones. Pretty annoying in some emails, though pretty handy if you dont have a lot of data

Does anyone know if there has been any mention of plans to add to the list of online social sites that can link into People Hub?

Skype is the only new thing coming to the People Hub as far as I know. I'm pretty happy with what they've already got, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc. Google+ support would be nice though.
