Windows Phone 7<\/a> users have been waiting<\/a> four months (and counting) for the first update to their phones\u2019 OS, all presumably hoping not to make it to five. And if a new piece of information proves correct, Microsoft will<\/em> release that update just before the five month mark \u2013 by the end of March.<\/p>\n Microsoft news maven Mary-Joe Foley reports<\/a> that French web site FRogz.fr<\/a> believes the first Windows Phone 7 update \u2013 aka NoDo \u2013 will be made available to users sometime in the second half of this month. Her own sources confirm, saying that a day in the week of March 21st is the latest target date. <\/p>\n Of course, if March passes without NoDo, it won\u2019t come as much of a surprise to users who\u2019ve been anxiously awaiting copy\/paste, improved Marketplace searches and general fixes since late October; several reported release dates have come and gone \u2013 the latest being March 8th<\/a> \u2013 without so much as a transmitted byte. <\/p>\n But Microsoft is facing a bit of a brick wall here, as Verizon and Sprint are expected to release Windows Phones soon<\/a>, and NoDo is reportedly required for CDMA compatibility.<\/p>\n Considering Windows Phone up \u2018til now, though, wouldn\u2019t it be fitting if the update arrived on April 1st?
