Microsoft has just posted an exhaustive update on the Windows Phone 7 NoDo roll out with detailed status for the carriers outside of the US and OEM status in the US. This is a good move but one as to wonder why there’s no “real” carrier status in the US (forgot that the handsets are only sold by carriers in the US so it’s fairly easy to see what’s going on based on the table below)…) and no OEM status worldwide. The whole thing looks like a huge mess. Check out the full details after the break:
Stage 1: Testing
The software update is undergoing mobile operator network and quality tests.
Stage 2: Scheduling
Operator testing is complete, and Microsoft is scheduling the update for delivery. This phase typically lasts 10 days or less.
Stage 3: Delivering update
Microsoft has started to send out the update. Because updates are typically delivered to customers in batches, it might take several weeks before you receive notice that an update is available for you.
