Mango Update

I received an e-mail from Windows Phone Insider stating "update" to 7.5 for free. I went into settings & it said "no update". I have Zune on my computer & when I plugged in the phone it also said "no update". Is this just a messag to load Zune? I assumed it was a msg to update.

Only about 50% of the phones are currently being sent the update. If you don't want to wait, there is a trick that will get you the update quicker. You can see how to do this here: Mango Update

It is a rollout in waves, so not everyone is getting it at the same time, but in case you have not installed Zune on the desktop, you need to - that is the only way you will get the update.

Any idea how long the waves will take? I have Zune installed; but as of today still no update available. I am really anxious for this because I am hoping I will be able to sync with my outlook contacts & calendar. I really do not like my info on Windows live for everyone to hack. Thanks for any info you have.

They said in four weeks from September 27th, all Windows Phone handsets should have received update prompts on the phone, and available updates thru the software. You should be notified of an update by October 25.

They sped up the most recent wave to 50%, next will be either 75% or 100%.

Syncing directly between Outlook and Phone via computer/USB is NOT supported in Mango. You will still have to sync through Live.
