Windows Phone 7 update could be imminent

Microsoft on Thursday published a new knowledge base article to its support site that suggests the first update to the Windows Phone 7 operating system may soon be released. The article details troubleshooting information in the event a software update does not install properly. The highly anticipated first software update for Windows Phone 7 is expected to introduce various new features including the ability to cut, copy and paste text. The update may also fix a bug recently identified by Microsoft that causes large amounts of superfluous data to be transmitted randomly over 3G. Earlier rumors suggested that Microsoft would release the update in January and with just over three days left in the month, this new knowledge base article rekindles hopes that we might see an update before February arrives on Tuesday.

    I really enjoy using Windows Phone 7, but the glitch that won’t let you hook up to routers with hidden SSID’s is quite annoying

    • Pettit03

      I agree. Its sucks cause my work doesn’t broadcast their SSID so I have slow data speeds and uses up my 2gb data plan.

      I could be wrong, but I believe that’s a Dell issue not a WP7 issue. Pretty sure I can find hidden routers with my Focus.

    Microsoft needs to learn from Apple and be a bit more aggressive with updates. They should push updates every month or 2 until all the bugs are ironed out. Give users a feeling that they won’t be abandoned.

    The only thing Microsoft forgot on these phones is “Vista” in the product name.

    • jay_max

      Why don’t you give us the detailed personal review, since you seem to have used it extensively? What worked? What didn’t? Why? Or are you are one of those fanbois who just froth at the mouth when you see the word Microsoft and slam their products without even using them?

    The rumor is that the cause of “large amounts of superfluous data to be transmitted randomly over 3G” is actually due to HTC’s hub… which actually makes it HTC’s problem that MS gets blamed for and has to fix.

    If you believe in freedom, go to Android. If you believe in security, go to iPhone. If you believe in sturdiness, go for blackberry. If you believe in none of the above, go for Windows. lol.
