There’s apparently a Wifi bug / issue affecting the recently launched Windows Phone 7 devices in the US (I never encountered this or heard about it before in Europe). It was first reported on the Dell Venue Pro but other WP7 devices (HTC HD7, Samsung Focus) are also affected by this according to forum posts. Affected devices are supposedly unable to connect to secured Wifi networks and receive a “your phone couldn’t reach the Wi-Fi network” error message. Is anybody else affected by this ?
