Another day, another rumors regarding the availability of Windows Phone Mango, the new mobile operating system flavor from Microsoft, as a software update for the already available Windows Phone devices on the market.
The update was expected to arrive last week, and a recently leaked internal memo from wireless carrier Orange France confirmed that, yet Microsoft was not yet ready to bring it to devices, and the actual release date was postponed.
No official word on the matter has emerged for the time being, nor on the new release window for the platform, yet rumor has it that the software might be released as soon as tomorrow, September 21st, at least on Vodafone's airwaves.
What's even more interesting is the fact that handsets available through the entire Vodafone Group are expected to start receiving the update, which means that users in a wide range of European countries and elsewhere should receive it.
Of course, nothing has been officially confirmed on this for the time being, and chances are that, the same as the previous rumors on the availability of Mango, this one will not pan out either.
Last week, Vodafone Australia announced that they have already finished testing the software update, and that the roll-out process should start in the near future, but they did not offer specific details on when that might happen.
Other wireless carriers around the world, including O2 in the UK, or Tesltra in Australia, also confirmed that they were ready for the deployment, yet Microsoft is the one who should start pushing the software out, it seems.
When compared to the previous version of Windows Phone, mango packs a wide range of enhancements, new features and fixes, and should offer a greatly improved experience to all users.
The new platform release is also set to arrive on shelves on new hardware starting with this fall, and is said to have already made an appearance on upgraded handsets in some European countries. (via)
