The first major update for the Windows Phone 7 OS, known as Mango, has just been approved for RTM<\/a>. RTM stands for Release to Manufacturing<\/em>, which means the base of the upcoming version of Microsoft\u2019s mobile operating system is now complete.<\/p>\n But that doesn\u2019t mean you\u2019ll be seeing a Mango update for your Windows Phone any time soon; handset manufacturers like HTC and Samsung, along with carriers like AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile in the United States, will now have to tailor the base OS for specific Windows Phone handsets<\/a>, which can take some time to complete. Also, carriers have an annoying amount of say-so when it comes to WP7 update releases, which could lead to further delays.<\/p>\n We have no timeframe for Mango\u2019s release other than \u201cthis fall,\u201d which could technically come as late as mid-December. But it\u2019s more likely that updates to Mango will come in October or November, though Microsoft is no stranger to product delays.<\/p>\n Windows Phone 7 \u201cMango\u201d will include Internet Explorer 9 with HTML5 support, threaded email, text and IM, third-party app multitasking and more. If you\u2019re curious about Mango, head to Engadget for a detailed preview<\/a> they posted in June.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The first major update for the Windows Phone 7 OS, known as Mango, has just been approved for RTM.
