Weekly Nodo Update from Microsoft

According to Microsoft, they aren't going to exist happy until everyone gets their update and continue to work hard to get this chore done. In their weekly Nodo Update Microsoft recognizes that the update has gone out to O2 and SFR customers in Europe and Telstra customers are receiving the February update at present. Eric Hautala also offers a word of caution to those turning to homebrew solutions.

As an engineer and a gadget lover, I totally empathize the impulse to tinker. You want the latest technology and you're tired of waiting. Believe me, I get it. Just my strong advice is: await. If you lot attempt one of these workarounds, we can't say for sure what might happen to your phone because we oasis't fully tested these homebrew techniques. You might not be getting the important device-specific software nosotros would typically deliver in the official update. Or your phone might go mis-configured and not receive future updates.

Hautala continues to say a lot of progress has been made in recent weeks. Notwithstanding, nosotros all know there is withal a lot of work to exist done. AT&T has changed their update status to indicate that Scheduling (the stage before distribution) would begin early Apr 2022. But "early" April is fast turning into "mid" Apr. It is entirely possible nosotros'll come across the new AT&T HD7S running the updated Os earlier existing phones are updated.

With the original Windows Phone 7 OS working well, I'k more than concerned about the update process than the update itself. While I concord with Hautala's call for patience, at some point Microsoft needs to get better control of their update process and make information technology more timely. Thoughts?
