Hello Friends 3.0 is now in the store with support for Windows Phone 7.5

The third version of Hello Friends is now in the Windows Phone Store.  This app is a relatively new one that allows you to decorate your lock screen with nice collages of your friends.

The list of improvements covers the following feature updates:

• 2 new templates for collages
• New preview mode
• New template selection window that shows miniatures of all templates
• A new live tile
• More refresh intervals
• Shuffle option when previewing your collage
• Performance improvements
• Several bug fixes from feedback of users

The app  now also supports the Windows Phone 7.5 platform with a slightly modified version. Since it is not possible to change the lock screen automatically under WP 7.5 yet, you still can create your custom collage and set it manually as the current lock screen. According to this source, Hello Friends will get an update as soon as Windows Phone 7.8 will include the same mechanism for automatic lock screen updates.

This a preview of the template selection window with miniatures of available templates.

You can pick up the app in the Windows Phone Store for 0,99€ ($0.99) with a free trial (time-limited).
