Will the first WP7 phones that Verizon ships have Mango already installed?
Goodness i hope not, that would mean we would be waiting until the end of the year. And that is if Microsoft hits their release date of which they have not done up to this point.
No, they will not have Mango until the fall, hopefully that update will go out better than the others, much less the awful wait for Verizon to finally decide and release WP7 on their networks.
The HTC Trophy (Verizon's first Windows Phone 7 device expected next week) will have the Feb/March "NoDo" update preinstalled.
Mango (thought of as WP7.5) will ship this fall with free update to all Windows Phone 7 devices.
New phones announced/shipping Fall2011 shoudl have "mango" preinstalled obviously.
I don't "expect" the Trophy to ship next week. I expect to be disappointed once again. As for Mango, the way Verizon is going, I won't be surprised if my nephew has Mango on his HTC Surround before Verizon offers a phone. This is ridiculous.
