In 12 months this update will long be forgotten but MS needs some positive press to win the perception war.I really doubt that, since it'll be one of the only two updates we'll have received in those 12 months.
IMO, the easiest way to handle this, from a user POV and a PR POV, would be to stop bundling everything into enormous updates and roll out a single patch or two on a given schedule, something like how Windows handles it. It's just plain disheartening to have had this phone approaching 5 months and I've never once seen an "your phone has an update" flash on the screen.
I still stand by what I feel with how it's entirely personal preference. WP7 might not be for you, Android may take your fancy with having features that the new OS from Microsoft just doesn't have yet. While there are some owners who are considering switching to Android, there are many from Android wishing to switch to WP7. It's all down to what you use the phone for, if you come across constant issues, and if you actually care that updates aren't regular or on time.I now regard "Mango" as vaporware and am thinking about taking the loss and switching to Android. There are just too many things I can't do with this phone and all we have is a possible update 6 months to a year from now. MS started out behind and is losing ground, not gaining.
I think Android will prevail because MS and Apple have let their corporate agendas get out of control. Guys, I don't care if Adobe isn't your 'strategic partner'. I need Flash.
II'm pleased with the overall entertainment and business use of the device.
