Although its attention is now on Windows Phone 8, Nokia is not going to leave users of its older Lumia devices behind. Future software updates that have been promised as "in the pipeline" are set to bring several enhancements to the current crop of Windows Phone-powered smartphones from Nokia. For instance, the Start screen on all four of Nokia's currently available Windows Phone handsets will be updated to look more like that of Windows Phone 8, and there will be new features such as Smart Group Shot, Cinemagraph, and Nokia City Lens which will take exploring surroundings to a whole new level. These updates, along with new apps like Draw Something and WhatsApp, will ensure that current Lumia owners will have "great times ahead."
