Microsoft’s major update to Windows Phone 7, codenamed Mango will be releasing next month. Reports from insider sources claim that the update will be released starting September 1.
A major factor for such an early release is so that it can coincide with IFA, which is the largest consumer electronics show in Europe. The event will take place from September 2-7 in Berlin, where Windows Phone 7 manufacturers such as Samsung, Acer, ZTE, and LG will be able to unveil their new Mango devices.
Nokia’s first Windows Phone 7 handsets will not be among this early batch. Instead, its Mango devices are expected to debut at the Nokia World event in October. The first of its offerings has already been leaked as a device codenamed “Sea Ray” that looks very similar to the N9 MeeGo handset.
