Does anyone have information on when the MS Messaging and Security Feature Pack for Windows Mobile 5 will be released and in what form?
MS say it will only be released to Mobile operators and Mobile Device OEMs, but no Mobile Operator or OEM I have spoken to has even heard of it let alone if they will make it available on new devices or as an upgrade to existing customers.
Orange UK assured me that they would make all upgrades released to them available. While O2 hinted at quite the opposite (would mean competition with thier beloved blackberry).
T-Mobile said all free upgrades would be available through HTC, but as yet I've been unable to get a number where I can speak to someone at HTC and confirm.
Any Info much appreciated.
Hey,
Does anyone know if Windows Phone 7 has an embedded regional code (or operator code) that identifies the source and language of the phone or relevant regional/operator specific applications in future upgrades. for either sim-locked ones and sim-free ones.
For example, if I buy one from UK sim-free, and I use it in Asia, will it upgrade automatically to support a chinese ui or chinese input system at my will or it will judge by the code inherent in it?
Thanks.

Hello, is this information official, I mean about summer 2011 for Czech Republic? Can you please give a link, maybe my country also there?
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

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)

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

OMG... Use google
Windows Phone Marketplace is now available in 13 more countriesBy Michelle Ruhfass on Wednesday March 28, 2012 0 Comments
Microsoft is opening its Windows Phone Marketplace app store to 13 new countries. The new countries where the Marketplace is now available are Bulgaria, Costa Rica, Croatia, Estonia, Iceland, Latvia, Lithuania, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Turkey, Ukraine, and Venezuela. A total of 54 countries are now able to download apps, games, and music for their Windows Phone smartphones. The news comes on the heels of the launch of the Windows Phone powered Nokia Lumia 800c for China, a CDMA variant of the Lumia 800 specifically built for the Chinese market.
source: Microsoft
And soon it will add also UAE, Bahrain, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kazakhstan, Israel, Thailand, and Vietnam, bringing a total of 63 countries.
Wow, I didn't know it was unusable here in Venezuela. Ate there a lot of places where it is unavailable? Or just tiny countries?

..y, and they blame us for piracy, but dot give a chance to buy a product hehehe..i dont mind at all xD
So now i can finally investigate how In gods name do I put a custom ROM on my phone, and prepare for the hard reset.
Good thing about the SMS backup app, installing all the apps again will be no problem, since I don't have that many installed in the first place, but loosing all my conversations would be unfortunate.

Nemaš sreće susjed!
i live in Romania and the apps showed up in Marketplace using romanian currency.
But if i try to buy an app and register my debit card it isn't accepted. It's possible that only Visa cards are accepted and not Visa Electron?. When it asks you what type of card you have the options seem to be Visa, Mastercard and American Express. Quite a shame if Visa Electron won't be accepted.
Hopefully it's just a temporary problem with their system since the marketplace just opened. There are also very few apps compared to US or UK, not even basic apps like twitter isn't in the market.
when is the games & music marketplace coming to India?!
As long as they don't cut off the marketplace to Iran, im happy with it. no need for a marketplace for iran.
You know, iTunes and Android market won't allow iranian's to download app from them (ofc we have our own ways (proxy ))
Marketplace in new region EU-Slovenia
The first frustrated attempt in Slovenia
HTC Mozart
I create a new Windows Live Mail, I reset Windows Phone 7, I sign up with a new email and set the region to Slovenia. I go to the marketplace, where my cell phone asking me for the region. I choose again to Slovenia and I'm in.
Marketplace opens with 0.1% of all applications and games. You don´t have Xbox games, music and 99% of nothing else. I don´t have Skype, Ask Ziggy, I'm a WP7, appHTC Hub, SLOWP7APPS, good games, but unfortunately just crap.
What an incredible limited offer
Developers have to make theirs app available in the new countries manually.

Make sure you have the network payment setting enabled on your Visa Electron. I had to manually enable that setting from my netbank, I live in Finland though, but I don't see why it would be different in your country.
My card is fine, i use it for online transactions pretty often and never had troubles, it just seems that microsoft only accepts visa, mastercard or american express. No visa electron accepted.

Yet, I think not.
Romania WP Marketplace
@Blond86 I have the same problem, but I guess it will be fixed until the April the 20th when the Lumia will be officially ready to be sold. There is something else, the Nokia Collection its not in the marketplace (did you noticed this or its just me?). Anyone knows something about Xbox Live and Zune for Romania? Have a nice day all.
LE: Visa Electron works for Romanian Windows Phone Market!
My Visa Electron works fine.I just payed for 2 apps with it.Maybe it's your bank not the card.
Any idea when will the Israeli marketplace open?
