According to Aviraj, the update comes in three stages (his phone was on the latest build 7.10.8107 prior to the update). The update will first upgrade the phone to 7.10.8112.7, and then subsequently updating the phone to 7.10.8773.98, and then finally to 7.10.8779.8, or the standard Windows Phone “Tango” build.
