Hi all, as I'm also waiting patiently, but am not 'holding my breath' for a launch today...
I'm sure that we all review all the various WP7 blogs/forums....lol

This comes from the WP7 Dev Blog:

@StevieBallz - we are working directly with our OEM and Mobile Operator to rollout Mango in a timely and efficient manner. As we announced late in August, we've already initiated rolling out Mango in Japan with HW from our OEM Partner KDDI. Also announced this week, HTC and Samsung announced new Mango phones coming to AT&T - allthingsd.com/.../att-takes-another-bite-of-windows-phone-adding-three-mango-devices-to-lineup. With any big launch, you want to have a big marketing push that coincides with your product launch, so divulging exact dates, takes away from our market impact, thus the vagueness of release dates. As I stated above, "The time to get your Mango apps into Marketplace is now." It's an exciting time and we are excited to see what you're building Stevie!

Even last night during the Build Bash Podcast from the Lowdermilk brothers (Windows Phone Developer Podcast, they had on Brandon Watson (who has a new Samsung Focus S device)....not only could he not show the device at all, during the podcast, but made no mention of 'any' Mango updates...

No sorry just another one who's clueless on when we should be receiving it.

Dang, I'm some jealous of "Down Under"!

i dont understand why they dont have an OFFICIAL release date

because then there would be a date that people would get upset if it was missed! Look at Apple + iPhone...the closer between Announce + Available the better...

I know with MS...Kinect had a while between Announce and Release (IIRC) but the Xbox 360S was Announce/Release in the same day!!!

I love a good conspiracy! hehe That would be pretty notorious, if true.

I think all big companies have at least 73 conspiracies going on at any given time...FACT!

Is that just a random guy posting from a random site?

good news, and confirming the date, September 15th is the day chosen for the release of update Mango.es this occasion is the Windows Phone Dev Podcast website responsible for confirming the date, using the same parameters as in your day and WPCentral and HTC unveiled

Hmm well I'm in New Zealand just got up so shall check! My phone has not said it needs a update but will see what happens when I sync with Zune...

Edit:

Zune still says my phone is up to date

 

[Big Supes]

Has anyone else been asking WP/Zune/Windows with Mango questions on Twitter? I can imagine they're being bombarded today!

 

[matiu_00]

3 Australian carriers are finished testing and waiting on MS to release.
O2 in the UK just announced that they too are ready to roll out.
Taiwan is manually flashing Mango ROMS "in-store". Perhaps to take some server load off MS today?

Maybe I'm just being optimistic but I feel like its gonna be a simultaneous worldwide release. Hoping they've learned their lesson from NoDo roll out. It's so close I can taste it!

O2 update from WMPuser site

O2 UK says Mango coming ?very soon? | WMPoweruser

Still wondering how soon is soon??? Hours? Mins? Days? Month?

That'll be me. Surely, one can assume "very soon" means less than a month...

 

[Pronk]

Hmm. They say they're working on the final test phase. That to me is a long way from "finished".

 

[Apoc]

Was hoping a couple of hours...lol! Oh well wishful thinking!

LMAO!! And... I thought I was bad!!

It's so vague. I was just gearing myself up for the longest amount of time that would meet that definition.

I honestly think we'll have it by this time next week.
