News for South African Users - Desire General

Just for those interested, I spoke to Leaf yesterday and they said the official Froyo update should be up next week for Vodacom users.

MTN got it a few weeks back. When I got my Desire through them - there was an option to update it but I declinded it due to wanting to root the device.
Thanks for heads up though.

That is rather funny that they got it before Vodacom!
Someone is slipping up!!

Desire 1. April coming to Vodafone Germany?

Hey guys any folks from Germany around here who wanna buy this beasty? Actually I went into one of those Vodafone shops here in Germany and they haven't even heard of this phone so far but you can already preorder at amazon and it's supposed to ship in April...So anyone got Insider Information here about when the thing is coming to germany and on which carrier I hope Vodafone though!!!
edit: link doesnt work
go to o2online -> handys -> vorschau
=)
Uuh that sounds great So I guess then it's goin to be on vodafone too in April!

No new games to Germany, NZ, Brazil, South Africa, South Korea for weeks

Just a heads up, for the next month or so, it appears no update or new game (at least indie) will come to these nations:
- Germany
- New Zealand
- South Africa
- South Korea
- Brazil
The app hub team completely screwed the update and you now need a Rating Certificate (nobody has it) to post in those countries. Said to be fixed in 'maybe weeks'.
You might see a few coming in the next few days, as they were already submitted previous to the update. But probably not afterwards.
What do you think ?
Yay, luckily it looks they found a workaround...

Mango Update: Carriers Status

What we know so far... The carriers below have tested and approved the update and are waiting on Microsoft to deploy it.
Official word from Microsoft is Mango will start rolling out between September 26th and October 9th.
Vodafone Australia
Optus
Telstra
Telus
Bell
O2 Germany
Deutsche Telekom
SFR France
Orange France
O2 UK
Other information as follow:
AT&T to start rollout on September 27th for HTC Surround, LG Quantum and Samsung Focus Rev. v1.3 (supposedly as there's no official word directly from AT&T to consumers)
have not deployed on telstra yet
Talked to O2 in UK and they just say they cannot say anything about it. Useless company and useless staff.
Oh Oh Oh, I have confirmation from "3" UK that they are..doing absolutely..nothing. That was 3 days ago.
I did post this in another thread but I think it got ignored because of countless "WHERES MY UPDATE" posts.
Give my email address to /b/ and I will kill all of you.

If no one posted, then call them up to see if you can find any info, that's what everyone else is doing...
I heard some, probably not accurate, stuff, that AT&T should be rolling out Mango on day 1, which _could_ be as soon as Monday. But don't believe me, it might be HOAX.
Oh and Windows Phone CZ on Facebook asked if we are preparing for Mango update in upcoming DAYS
AT&T said, "AT&T will be among the first to offer the Windows Phone Mango update to its leading portfolio of Windows Phones this fall." Not sure if that means you can get it on day 1.
Orange Uk
Just had a tweet from orange customer services |(Uk)
We have no specific details on a Windows phone update I'm afraid
sounds about right for orange, no info

He will stay there for 2 weeks.

Thanks.
Anyone?

You are probably not getting any responses because people don't know the date yet. I certainly don't.
You could try finding a store in South Korea that lists it on their website as then contact them to see when they expect to get it.
