Microsoft today provided some details coming in this summer's GDR2 update to the Windows Phone 8 operating system.

The new update, which is expected to start rolling out to existing Windows Phone 8 phones later this summer, brings back support for FM radio and makes the Data Sense feature of Windows Phone 8 available for more carriers to offer. The update also makes it easier to select, download, and pin tunes in Xbox Music and improves the accuracy of song info and other metadata.

The update also includes hundreds of other small quality improvements. One final one worth highlighting is that the update also ensures Windows Phone continues to work with Google services by adding support for the company's newest sync protocols' CalDAV and CardDAV.
