We already got word from Nokia about some new Windows Phone features that’d be trickling out in a forthcoming update, and Microsoft has now filled in some more details on what other phone users can expect. In addition to FM radio support, an update said to be coming to Windows Phone 8 devices “later this summer” will add the previously-promised support for CalDAV and CardDAV to ensure your phone will continue to work with Google’s new sync protocols. Otherwise, you can look for the company’s Data Sense feature to support more carriers (no word on specific ones yet, though), and also expect some minor tweaks to Xbox Music . . . → Read More: Windows Phone 8 update coming this summer with CalDAV and CardDAV support

Well, in the UK, Vodafone will start carrying a 32GB version of the handset exclusively next month, while O2 said it’d be the only UK carrier with a white model — which you’ll be able to grab on June 13th . . . → Read More: Vodafone UK scores 32GB Lumia 925, O2 gets dibs on white model for June 13 Perhaps to celebrate passing the 250 million user mark, SkyDrive is rolling out an update which introduces some nifty time-saving features. Now, you’ll be able to view all your photos — across folders and albums — in a timeline view, with images grouped by event and date for easy searching . . . → Read More: SkyDrive update brings photo timeline, more efficiency-minded features The Lumia 928 isn’t the first of Nokia’s Windows Phone 8 handsets to hit Verizon — that distinction goes to the 822 — but for all intents and purposes, it’s the first true flagship Lumia to bear Big Red’s branding.
