Depending on the phone you have when you get 8107 you could also get a firmware update of some type to go along with it. I think this might be why lots of unbranded phones haven't gotten it yet. I still haven't either.

Check for it now. I just updated mine (same device (you're still using Optimus 7, right?)).

Yup, still have the same phone but nothing yet. Probably tomorrow though, I figure it'll ramp up more and more.

Just got an update notification on my unbranded HTC Trophy. =)

My wife and I got an update notification on our Verizon Trophies. I believe this one is a radio update and not the bug fix.

Verizon is most likely not going to push out the intermediate updates and roll them all out with the major yearly. So I'll have to wait until Apollo for the keyboard fix.

If they skip this update they will be forced to roll out Tango, which comes before Apollo. Carriers cannot block two updates in a row.

While this is true, the rumors of Tango being mostly for lower end markets could very well mean other places don't see it, or only a few of the changes it brings. But we'll have to wait and see, I expect we'll get info at MWC but that's still weeks away.

I'm loving how efficient Microsoft are when it comes to updating WP7, they really believe in it as an OS.

Carriers can block as many updates as they want. What sanctions Microsoft has against carriers ? Microsoft won't allow those carriers to sell WP7 phones ?

      The site is pretty sparse on features / tech specs. Can I plug it into a PC/hone/Switch via USB-C and use it as an external display? If so, what's the virtual resolution of the screen, the refresh rate, PPI of the image etc? Is the text crisp enough to use for coding at say 12pt? Is it good enough for playing dark games, like say Path of Exile 2? How about fast games like car racing games? Just how do they expect anyone to order this thing without giving out all this info?
