You may already know the Web-famous Windows watcher Paul Thurrott and if not well now you’ve heard of him. He has just come forward with several new details surrounding the upcoming updates for Microsoft’s mobile platform. Keep reading to find out more!
According to Thurrott, two major updates are coming this year. The first, “NoDo” (possibly short for “No Donuts”, will find its way to end users some time in early February. He also goes on to tell us some features to be found in NoDo are the “copy and paste functional addition, support for the Qualcomm 7×30 smart phone chipset, a CDMA location stack and a number of software fixes.”
Thurrott also mentioned that later in the year, WP7 users will see another update currently called “Mango” internally (we’ve all heard about this one), which will apparently bring “Internet Explorer 9 with with the Trident 5 rendering engine, HTML 5 and Silverlight, and gesture support.” Possibly new updates in Mango such as more entertainment features, we will see.
Was this what you expected to hear after all the rumors about the updates coming? I think this breakdown is much easier to understand. Now let me know what you think about it.

I know this may seem excessive, but I still say WM7 is a massive Fail. I mean really, why use WM7? All the other operating systems and their hardware are superior to WM7, so why switch?

@2 Bunny –
Why switch to WM7? Let’s see… How about just to get away from that god-awful grid based Iphone look alike interface that Android has. Aren’t you tired of that old fashion look yet?
@Pandaman –
but WP7 is grid based, no?
If it wasnt for Office/Exchange intergration, I’d be 100% pro android. I really feel they should offer a WM like version of WP7(werent they planning on a “pro” version?). The editibility and functionality of WM is what made me a diehard. I hope they bring that back, and rid of their demented restrictions
@2 Bunny –
I really don’t see how wm7 hardware is inferior to any other.
The os does what it is supposed to do so I don’t see a fail there either.
If its not for you that doesn’t make it bad. we owe a lot to microsoft for pioneering the smartphone. please at least show a little respect. all they need to do is launch a couple sweet phones and everyone will be all over it.
The restrictions, yes. What I liked about WinMo is its hackability. WM7′s UI looks fresh, and cool, but the one thing that makes me hesitant with WM7 and Android is that all my PIM data is on the cloud.
Some of you don’t have a clue, I’ve said it a thousand times…try it for yourself and make up your own minds!! I know it’s strange, but it works! I say that because I can tell that no one tried it, just read about it.
and here come the idiotic useless bash comments. find something else to do with ur time
Get something on Sprint… The 7Pro will be a good intro to the OS for alot of us… But I hope it’s not the ONLY phone on Sprint.
p.
Now that I sit here and read this awful news, I wonder why I ever held out and kept my HD7. From everything I read, their still not addressing a ton of bugs in the OS.
So we as new and some as “LOYAL” Windows Mobile or Windows Phone, are still stuck with a phone that has so many limitiations that everybody said would be addressed. It’s starting to look more and more everyday like it’s the same old phone with a new skin. I mean if Micro$oft is going to fiercely compete in the mobile phone arena, then they really need to be pushing out bug fixes on a monthly basis. Tougher penalties for the developers that release crap and better tools for the developers so they aren’t forced to release crap, due to the limitations of the OS. Looks like a number of “Features/Bugs” wont be released this February.
These are just a few I discovered on my own.
1) Wifi bug. Issues with assigning device a static IP. Some workplaces require it, my whole home network is all static’s. And lets face it, GSM doesn’t work too good deep inside some buildings.
2) Typing into the Internet explorer bar while in landscape mode, very annoying to turn the phone to type.
3) Camera’s video resolution goes back to 640 from 720 once you exit the camera application, although the still camera does not exhibit this behavior. This makes for one or 2 more laggy clicks on a phone that’s suppose to “Get us in, and get us out.”
4)Lack of ability to copy files to the device. Where’s the folder organization ? Where’s the albums ? Why is it that there is no restricted file directory or even a mapped “user” area that app’s have access to read, and zune is the only app that can write there. PDF’s ? I have a library of over 7 gigs of e-books I’d love to read on my HD7. Hey they work on HD2 and every other smartphone out there. Before anyone says use the cloud for storing files. It’s an absolutely horrible user experience, using a webpage to get to a document i’ve tried.. We all have videos and photos. Well Zune isn’t the smartest app to run on a PC. It wouldn’t recognize 30% of the files multimedia files I tried to copy to it. Some of them .avi. Windows plays them just fine, other applications open them and edit them just fine. But zune cant convert them and copy them to the phone. Tsskk. Tsssk.
Microsoft wake up. I’m a ms fan, and have been for 20 +years. But I have to say, I’m really starting to see the appeal of other mobile OS’s. I really would like to see microsoft get off their arses and get something done. I’m a developer of 15+ years, and have written software and systems in several languages, including WP7. Oh and BTW the marketing on this phone has been horrible. Too “utopic”.
Starting to see WP7 as another on the shelf OS that sites like ppcgeeks are the only websites with anything on the OS.
