HTC Arrive Software Update – 2305.13.40301.651 (Microsoft OS – Mango 7.10.7720.68)


UPDATE
: Mango is a Go!

The other interesting piece of news is that all developers who are currently running the Mango Beta code (7712) won’t have to roll back to NoDo to get the final RTM bits. Unfortunately if you are running the leaked RTM bits like me then you will most probably have to go back and forth before enjoying the tropical fruit like everybody else.
