Still Nogo on the Nodo Update

Microsoft has released its latest update on the Windows Phone 7 update. Briefly put, there are no changes since the concluding update.

Eric Hautala is taking it on the mentum this week by proverb that AT&T is expected to finish update testing in early April. Plain nobody pointed out to Eric that today was Apr 13th, a date many consider well past early on April.

We're eager to share progress. Merely these tests are important, and they're just non quite done. I await to have more to say soon—so delight stay tuned.

Blah, blah, blah. Microsoft needs to stop making excuses for delays that carriers are creating and low-cal a fire to get these updates to consumers. Nosotros know the tests are of import but why is everyone else making progress while others aren't? Are AT&T engineers that much slower than others?

The only saving grace is that the current version of Windows Phone 7 is running great. Certain, re-create/paste would be nice but it'll become here one twenty-four hours. Thankfully this isn't a disquisitional update needed to correct major problems with system stability.

What concerns me is how Microsoft seems to exist surrendering the update procedure to the carriers. Wasn't Windows Phone 7 supposed to be a more controlled environment? If Microsoft can place requirements on Windows Phone 7 manufacturers and developers why can't they put requirement on carriers with respect to update? A requirement stating testing must be concluded 45 days after the update is released to the carriers?

This is the first update for Windows Phone 7 and peradventure we should cutting Microsoft some slack. However, if Microsoft tin't get a handle on the update process, it volition only create more problems down the road with future updates. Problems that will only hurt Windows Phone 7's chances for success.

Just as a reminder, you can check the current condition of the Nodo update through Microsoft'south Update Folio or from your Windows Phone by using the "Dude, Where is my update" app.
