Microsoft admits delay of WP7 update
SOFTWARE GIANT Microsoft has admitted that its March update to Windows Phone 7 (WP7) will be delayed.
The update is set to include copy-and-paste, better WP7 Marketplace search, and a number of other improvements, but it will be released several weeks later than originally planned.
Microsoft is looking at a late March release as part of a longer process that the company hopes will result in a higher standard update with a better global rollout.
The Vole blamed the delay on its botched rollout of the February preliminary update, which still isn't available for a number of Windows Phone 7 handsets.
Microsoft said that with nine phones on 60 mobile operators in 30 countries, "things can get a little complicated." Of course, if it cannot manage such a small number of nearly identical phones built to its specifications, then it will likely struggle if it tries to expand its smartphone line even further, particularly with its recent partnership with Nokia.
The Vole attempted to assure users that the March update delay won't affect the timing of future updates, but we'll have to wait and see if it can live up to that. µ

M$ paid fan boys post previous two comments ? :)
Leaks are starting to occur that Apple has moved trolling/bashing Microsoft Windows to hiring a number of people to post negative comments on forums and blogs about Windows OS but mainly Windows Phone 7 and Android devices. Supposedly under heavy contracts with a lot of repercussions if they reveal who they work for. This is similar to Sony making up phoney movie reviews from publications that didn't exist to trick people into seeing horrible movies.
YOU ARE SUCH A GOOGLE FANBOYS! SHAME ON YOU. BIAS BIAS BIAS
This is why nobody is buying it.
Windows Phone 7 is a bag of pain.
People are pulling their hair out waiting for this Windows Phone 7 update, with 10% of Windows Phones failing, and many left "bricked" in an irreparable state.
When that plagued update finally arrives, all that it will add is Cut & Paste. What about the other missing features of Windows Phone 7, like proper multitasking? Or how about an update to fix the broken tethering, or Windows Phone 7's inability to add a custom ringtone.
Oh, those things get fixed in a different update at the end of 2010 (more than a year since WP7 was released). Microsoft has given carriers permission to block this update, so you won't see it in handsets until 2012.
That's just a farce. No wonder Microsoft is getting nowhere in mobile, with its hobbled Windows Phone.
