Mango OS update available for existing Windows Phones within 2 weeks

Yup, that's right. Mango OS (windows 7.5) will be available for existing Windows Phones within the next 2 weeks according to the Windows Phone Blog. They are currently bringing customers up to speed on the timing of the releases but has said that not all existing phones will receive the update at the same time.




"During the official Windows Phone 7.5 update process, every Windows Phone will also receive software from the handset manufacturer. This matched and paired firmware has been painstakingly tuned so your phone—and apps—work with all the new features of Windows Phone 7.5. Since your phone requires the proper firmware to function as designed, my advice is simple: steer clear of bootleg updates and homebrew tools.


By the way, in case you missed it, we recently released new versions of both the Windows Phone 7 Connector for Mac and the Zune software for PCs, which you’ll need to update your phone. If you haven’t already, I encourage you to install it. I think you’ll like the update-related improvements, which speed up the overall update process and give you more control over backups. A small favor: When you update to Zune 4.8, you’ll be asked to participate in improving the update process. Please consider doing so."
