hi there this is Adam Lane from packing.com and this week mark sucked released their first over-the-air update for Windows Phone 8 so in this video we're gonna take a look at some of the new features let's check it out so first off one of the new features is a ability to reply to phone calls with text messages so when you're someone calls we see a new option down here text reply and you can choose from some preset ones so it's a quick touch and text or you can type a message so that goes straight into the text messaging interface now here I can say I can type something and maybe I back out of it like so and it's gone on Windows Phone 8 that would just be gone but if I go back over here there's now a drafts option in the messaging app so I can see right here I can finish that draft I have something else that's new we have to select before or we can select individual threads and delete them I am after we've multiple select and the delete button still there but now there's a select all so now we can delete everything all the text messages all at once very easy to do the select all has not come to the email programs or any of the other lists really so that's kind of inconsistent but it's cool it's there next we'll look at the Wi-Fi there's some new settings here this is Windows Phone 8 on the Nokia if I go to the advanced button you can see some differences here we have a new option for keep Wi-Fi on when the screen times out so if normally with Windows Phone 8 and other Windows Phone versions if your screen shuts down it turns off y5 to save battery but that means it's going to use your data connection for whatever it might be wanting to download with notifications of what not if you keep Wi-Fi on it'll keep Wi-Fi connected so that's a great new feature another new thing is in the notifications we can now you can now see the tweet that you might have been mentioned in you can see the full thing right here you only see if that you were mentioned a bug that has not been fixed is with the facebook albums say I have like 600 photos in a in a photo album only a hundred of them appear so that's still bug still annoying and lastly let's just look at the build number where is it right there and we see it's ten-to-one 18.0 and this is a nine 903 so just a incremental upgrade so that's a available now on the HTC Windows Phone 8x and probably coming to other windows phones shortly so there's your Windows Phone eight portico update be sure to give this video a thumbs up and that's it for now you
