Windows Mobile 7: Microsoft unsettled running mobile update

Have eagerly owner of the new Windows Mobile on the first software update waiting for - but now is the big surprise: of the promised improvements is nothing to see. Instead, some phones were useless by the update. Hamburg - It will soon be an update. Microsoft had promised, when the first cell phones came with the new operating system Windows Mobile 7 straight to the market.

Namely those lacking some features and capabilities for modern smartphones have long been really standard. The most important of which should be supplied with an update this spring. The greater the joy, as some users found that their phone is ready for the first update. Contrary to expectations, bringing the software update for the phones but no new features.


Instead, apparently with the new software, only the basis for the next, not yet released update to the missing features will be added: an update of the update routine then. But it was thoroughly wrong in some users. From the United States are increasing now reports that occur in two types of Samsung phones, the Omnia 7 and the Focus, massive problems after the update.

Some of the equipment had become after loading the new software completely unusable. The update for the phones to have a so-called "bricking" led to a state in which the phone has only the function of a "bricks", ie a brick. Some blogs will even reported that Microsoft has withdrawn the update because of the difficulties already.

Lieber is equal to the exchange but not obviously so, writes Mobiltechworld. Instead, Microsoft had just stopped to send messages about the availability of the update to the device until the problem is solved. Such notice is required because updates to Windows Mobile phones are not installed automatically, but manually will be played on the Mac via the Zune software on the PC or Windows Mobile 7 Connector must.

The Group also recommends via Twitter, with the update install still prefer to wait a couple of days. It was in the process to isolate the problem, and will deploy over the next three days a new version. According Mobiltechworld there has been only a few cases confirmed in those was that cell phones were actually unusable by the update.
