It seems that a lot of carriers are ready to deploy Mango. French carrier Orange is one of them. Recently, a french owner of a LG Optimus 7 named Lionel used the warranty of his phone to get it replaced with a new one. I can't say how amazed he was when he noticed that his new device was already running WP 7.5 Mango !
Here's a picture he took himself to prove his statement :

}
Then he declared : everything is smoother and faster. Apps are integreted better. Every day I figure out another small feature that makes WP7 so wonderful. I'm so thrilled !
This great news show us mango is ready to be delivered and installed, yet Microsoft is still keeping it in a secret drawer no one has the key for.
From smartphonefrance.info
It's the same with Dell, I have a feeling that Mango will be released on the 23rd though.

Incorrect: Autumn begins on 1st September
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autumn
Autumn = Fall incase you were unsure
I've seen a few people say that begining of September is not Fall so now you can relay this correction if you see it posted.
Ofc if you're from North America you have diffrent ways of doing every thing compared to the rest of the world so maybe later in September (ie the September equinox) is when you consider Autumn to start, Dam moon lovers
Given that here in Russia they started selling WP7 phones on Sep 16th, the first phone is Mozart, and it runs Mango, it's safe to say that the update is ready, with OEM drivers and all that.
So I guess there may be two reasons for the delay:
1. There are problems with Microsoft's update infrastructure.
2. Microsoft is waiting for AT&T (and probably other important carriers) or Samsung to avoid the PR trouble they ran into last time.
On a side note, a weird thing is that Mozart is marked as "Top seller" on MTS (largest Russian operator) website, and it seems to have sold out in most stores over the weekend.

Actually there are two definitions. Either you seperate the seasons into months and then Fall is September, October and November.
But it is more accurate to take the tropic of cancer/capricorn into account because these acutally have a meaning and are not made up dates, and then September 23rd is the start of fall.
Also Joe Belfiore tweeted a link to a webpage stating september 23rd is the start of fall and that's all that really matters.

Finally some official info out today. It'll be released in the US on October 22nd. Going for $179 with a 2 year contract. And I think $199 for a 1 year contract possibly...
Its the 1st time I've seen HTC sell a major phone exclusivly to the US. I only hope us in the rest of the world will get a release or a chance to get it out of network.

Hmmm ... that's going to make my next phone purchase a tough one. AT&T's Rapheal, or T-Mobile's Dream. Windows or Android. Doh.
Tsss, its gotta be Android of course. I like Winmo too so far, since its really been the only proper OS over symbian and others for modibility and such. But opensource Android (linux) has clearly waaaaaay more flexibility and will be my 1st choice.
.
Can some-one rip the Amazon MP3 app, reverse engineer the api and bring it to Windows Mobile? How hard can it be? The underlying OS is open source, so the api calls can be easily identified, and it only downloads songs, so it cant be too complicated.
Surur
i'd like a touch hd WITH keyboard AND flash and android on it... the dream is nice but hasnt top notch specs... otherwise id like android (through haret) on my pharos

Raphael. Mainly because Android will most certainly be recompiled to run on it, but probably not vice versa. They both run on the MSM7201A even.
Hey all. To dispel any rumors about the Dream (now officially the T-mobile G1) Ive added some more info to the Dream Wiki. All the info has been gleamed from the various official sources at the launch etc. Check it out, very informative.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Dream
It would be great if XDA Dev guys could pop up a proper Forum group for the phone any time
Sorry about the title, typed in the wrong date.
It's confirmed. Windows Phone 7 will launch on the 11th of October in New York. T-Mobile is one of the launch carriers. AT&T is confirmed to be the second.

This seems more like speculation with a bit of truth. Don't really care though I'm on Tmobile, because I know it will come soon.
I plan on upgrading , but I won't do it until I see a device with a 32GB option. If not then I'll just get the Zune HD2 64GB (If it is real) with a Android Device.
T-Mobile is definitely not the only carrier for WP7.
http://www.engadget.com/2010/10/04/...ndts-ralph-de-la-vega-to-headline-windows-ph/
It very well may be that AT&T will be exclusive for a bit with T-Mo getting devices later. Maybe AT&T is getting them the same date as Europe (October 21st) and T-Mo is launching November 8th?
I don't believe its a lunch. Its just a press meeting for people to see what the finished devices are like.

Depends on your definition of "launch". In this case, they're showing off the devices and announcing retail availability, etc. Everything about the v1 release should be fully open... no more of this "we can't tell you that" (except in regards to future updates).

Eh, there never was an official announcement that showed anything before March but at this point I'm not defending Microsoft til they give reason. It's an amazing OS but if they're just going to string people along then it's definitely losing ground in my book.

That's how I feel. But rationally thinking, why would a company handle business this way? It makes me think they are trying to iron out something completely unexpected; trying to capitalize on a sudden resource. I think once they finally do get past the first big update, things will go smoother and faster from then on. There's no rationality to a consumer oriented company (a company making efforts to be consumer oriented) putting off its customer base. There has to be a good reason for how things are going.
Maybe MS has its hands full of the carriers. Maybe the carriers are so badly locking down MS that they can't organize well enough. Too bad MS doesn't go with a single hardware market system and run with that. They would have complete control over the whole system, much like Apple does with the iPhone. Not saying it will happen, but speculatively speaking, MS just might be headed in that direction. If the carriers are, in fact, causing all the problems, MS might just get to a point where they will have had enough and discontinue multiple hardware support and focus on one specific handset...of their choosing. Then the carriers will get taught a valuable lesson.
90 days after CES, the date is right on time.
Windows Phone 7 is good OS but it is loosing grip because of the slow update... Same happened with Windows Mobile... Seems like M$ didn't learn from it... Well let's See how well M$ can keep up with the Android and IOS.... The Update that was supposed to released in Jan is Coming is End of March.... Such an Embarrassment......

Yeah, please do show some proof because I'm quite certain if that was the case it would've come up on some tech blog. All of which ive been following daily since months before the initial release of WP7. Microsoft made no official announcement aside from "Early 2011." From there they went on to say "The first 2 weeks of March." Finally we come to where we're at today.
It was supposed to have been released on the 7th, but was pulled - yet again. The latest date I have is the 22nd.
What irks me is that this update is still the same old build that's been ready for deployment since January.

Where are you getting this information?
z33 is correct. Microsoft's only official announcment about the first update was Q1 2011. Which doesn't end until March 31st.
There were several rumors from various tech blogs about January and then February but nowhere has an official MS announcement been made on an exact day and/or time.
I've also been following about 10 or so tech blogs since about December.
it was always Q1 for the nodo and Q3 for the mango.... MS never give out dates... no one will give out dates for the updates come on...

And then when it comes out and has problems everyone will be crying about why they didn't beta test it more. Just relax people I want the update too but not enough to whine about it on the net. Just sayin'..
While we are waiting for the arrival of Windows Phone Mango, A confirmation comes from Microsoft of the next update for Windows Phone 7 and objectives that will guide the development of Windows Phone.
The news is based on what was said by the speakers at the Microsoft MSDN seminar held in Hong Kong.
According to reports that I heard, it would seem that Tango will not be a major update, but a simple optimization of the mobile medium / low.Tango should also bring substantial improvements in Bing services.
The next major update will then be Apollo, but there is no news yet about it, but certainly the news will be similar to Mango.

I think you were addressing me as well?
Look man, I always like reading your posts. You're very calm and collected and usually bring great insights.
I'm a huge wp7 fan. I couldn't love it more. However look at the issues with the NoDo update. I can't seriously believe that anyone thinks Mango will be out before Q2 2012. And it doesn't matter when they push to carriers. What matters is on my device.
I'm also getting frustrated at the lack of funcitionality. I have no money invested in this platform. I don't care if it'll come with Apollo. Why can't I watch AVI's now? Or why will this mobile hotspot be carrier-specific (which means us Canadians won't get it). And why is Bing stripped down for Canada? And Zune?
I use hotmail, xbox, and windows 7 at home. WP7 fits my "ecosystem" perfectly. It's just getting more and more frustrating. And seeing some post about updates makes me roll my eyes. Let's see how Mango gets handled first before we jump ahead to all these other ones.
I'm not trolling. This is me using this forum as an outlet.
