And the April update didn't pass QA? or there isn't anything more to fix?
The March update is the latest one, AT&T (phone service provider) delay delivered it to their phones though. If this was an unlocked phone I could have updated in March.

Ah, I see. So they basically offer a delay contract. :thumbsup:

Been 20+ minutes now and it's stuck on step 6 of 9 (rebooting your phone). I did see my phone rebooting but now it's come back to normal mode (no indication on the phone that an update is on). Anyone else had any success with this? :~ Zune shows step 6 of 9. The phone shows nothing. I am scared of canceling here as it may wreck the phone.

Too funny, Nish. Hasn't it occurred to you that it came pre-wrecked? :laugh:

Besides, it's not like Microsoft has had much practice releasing patches for updates and security fixes...

Thanks for testing WP7 for us. Let me know if it finally works on WP8 ;P

Hi Nishant, Perhaps this will give you comfort during your rite-of-passage: "I have always wished for my computer to be as easy to use as my telephone; my wish has come true because I can no longer figure out how to use my telephone.*" ... attributed to Bjarne Stroustrop best, Bill * even though this has been widely quoted and attributed to Bjarne, he has actually denied having said this, but commented that he might as well have. See: ^
"Many : not conversant with mathematical studies, imagine that because it [the Analytical Engine] is to give results in numerical notation, its processes must consequently be arithmetical, numerical, rather than algebraical and analytical. This is an error. The engine can arrange and combine numerical quantities as if they were letters or any other general symbols; and it fact it might bring out its results in algebraical notation, were provisions made accordingly." Ada, Countess Lovelace, 1844

If this is a flash update type thing I've given up on those since one bricked my SPV M5000 (HTC Universal). It wasn't even a hacked / unofficial one but the one straight from the orange site.

Man, you have had some bad luck with that phone haven't you? Both updates installed flawlessly on mine. Now waiting for the security update to show up.

No, this is an OS upgrade (done via Zune software over USB).

yeah it's not been one of my best phone experiences so far. But I am glad they worked finally (there are people who've been unable to do the upgrade after days of trying). There's a security update coming up?

Yeah, they're pushing a small update to block some fake security certs or somthing like that. I'm irate that AT&T hasn't given the thumbs-up to that update yet since it's so important.

Yeah, that extra lag is something we could have done without.

So, what do you think of the phone, post-update? I, of course, was happy with mine before the update. After the update, I'm impressed with the performance improvements and pleased with copy/paste. Copy/paste isn't something that I use often, but when you need it and don't have it you really miss it. The performance improvements, on the other hand, affect my daily use of the phone.

Yes, I did notice the speed-up too. And I am in the same boat, I don't think I'll be a big copy-paste phone guy. :)
