On February 21, Microsoft officials told Windows Mobile phone 7 (WP7) people that the firm had began rolling out the very first update for Windows Phone 7.
Before you copy-and-paste-happy WP7 followers begin salivating — this 1st update isn’t NoDo, the coming update that many consider to be the very first for Microsoft’s smartphones. NoDo is slated to begin rolling out in early March, Microsoft execs recently acknowledged.
Instead, this “first” minor update is a pre-Nodo update, according to today’s Windows Mobile phone blog posting.
“This very first update for Windows Phone is designed to improve the software update process itself. So while it might not sound exciting,
Microsoft Office 2007 Enterprise, it’s still important because it’s paving the way for all future goodie-filled updates to your telephone, such as duplicate and paste or improved Marketplace search,
Office 2007 Activation,” the post read.
Microsoft will be pushing out this minor update gradually over the coming days. To get the update (once they receive a message letting them know it is available to them),
Microsoft Office Pro Plus 2010, WP7 customers need to connect their phones to their PCs or Macs and download it, via the respective client software.
NoDo, when it finally arrives, will add copy-and-paste support; improved performance; better Marketplace search,
Office 2007 Serial, and CDMA support. The next “major” update to WP7 will be “Mango,” and currently is slated to be available on WP7 phones in time for holiday 2011. Mango will include Internet Explorer (IE) 9 Cellular and multitasking support for third-party applications, among other features.
Update (February 22): After reports by some WP7 end users that the very first update was “bricking” their phones, caution is the watchword. “We are investigating reports related to the Windows Mobile phone update process and will provide additional information and guidance as it becomes available,
Office 2010 Download,” a Microsoft spokesperson said when I asked whether people should hold off from installing the pre-NoDo update.
