Will the Windows Phone 7 update be massive?


Have you been among those who keep hearing about how Windows Phone 7 already needs an update? It’s been stated in several reviews that there are some things that could use some work. Microsoft has been aware of the small bugs or updates that need to be fixed and have actually been working on these for a long time.

According to a recent twitter post by Chris Walshie, a team member of ChevronWP7, he confirms Microsoft has been working on an update since before shipping out version one of WP7. It’s good to know they agree there are enhancements to be made, right? Take a look at the twitter posts below.

If Chris claims this could be considered Windows Phone 8, that sounds like Microsoft has really done some work doesn’t it? We know that several users aren’t happy with the current multi-tasking abilities and wish there were more things you could do at once. The copy/paste feature has been a long awaited feature and users would love to see that built in as well.

Our very own admin here at PPCGeeks, Mindfrost82, has his own opinion of what updates he’d like to see with WP7. He wishes smart dialing was available as well as maybe offering turn-by-turn navigation in Bing Maps similar to what Google Maps does. Those two updates alone would make several users happier, including himself. Of course there’s the usual copy/paste and multitasking too. Another cool thing he hopes to see one day would be Office having the ability to open/edit documents from SkyDrive. Right now the only way to get documents on the phone is to email them to yourself since you can only sync with Zune and it doesn’t offer document sync.

What updates do you think Microsoft are working on? Hopefully some of these listed will be included as well as many more. Let us know what you think!
