There have been recent news and updates regarding him Windows Phone 7 that will certainly interest you guys not matter if it’s favorable or unfavorable for your tastes. There are some major updates as well as the plans of Microsoft as to how they will be rolling out the new updates.

No Donuts
The very first update for the Windows Phone 7 is given the code name, No Do. It will roll out within the coming weeks in time for the CES. However, shipping for the new update will be held until February. This update will include copy and paste, support for the Qualcomm Chipset, a location stack for CDMA as well as additional fixes for the software.

Mango
This new major update will enable this smart phone to include Internet Explorer 9 as well as Trident 5. This update for the Windows Phone 7 will also include gesture support, Silverlight and HTML5. This is called the 75xx code so there is the possibility that this is the Windows Phone 7.5 but that is just a speculation for now.

As you can see with the carrier system, Microsoft will not do individual shipping of fixes like it is normally done for smart phones. It will come along as service packs which could be a massive issue. The phone still has a lot of fixes to work on and it would be best to have individual fixes instead of packaging them and rolling them out slowly.
