Nokia's Lumia 900 will be getting an upgrade to Windows Phone 7.8 next week, according to a new report.

The folks over at WP Central yesterday reported that the operating system update will be coming to AT&T Lumia 900 owners on January 30. The blog is basing its claim on an internal AT&T e-mail it claims to have obtained detailing the update.

Windows Phone 7.8 was announced last year with Windows Phone 8. Products running Windows Phone 7, like the Lumia 900, were unable to be updated to Windows Phone 8, leaving Microsoft to build an upgrade for customers who would have been left out in the cold.
