AT&T pushes Windows Phone 7 NoDo update

AT&T customers, your wait is now over. Despite the fact it's almost May, the February and March "NoDo" updates should now be ready for installation in the Zune desktop software. We previously heard this update would be coming on April 19th, and lo and behold, it's here. Keep in mind that if you don't see the update, give it some time-Microsoft uses a phased roll out and it may take some time before it's ready. You will also need to install the February update first, then proceed on to the March Copy and Paste update. Also, this is only available for the Samsung Focus and LG Quantum at this time, as the HTC Surround update is not expected until sometime in May. If you have a Samsung Focus or LG Quantum, be sure to head over to the Zune software and see about getting it installed, then let us know how it goes below.

It is expected to have Symbian^3 on software front but a ARM processor with a boost of 20 Mhz i.e it will feature a 700 Mhz processor. The phone is said to be specially made for Chinese market. The design is quite similar to Nokia N8 with bulge out camera Pod missing. It also lacks superb 12 megapixel camera with xenon flash and zeiss shooter but features a 8 megapixel camera with most likely EDoF similar to that in Nokia E7 and C7. Though we expect Nokia to retain 720p HD video recording. USB port is shifted from right side to the place where HDMI port use to be. This might be first attempt from Nokia in direction of selling 150 million Symbian devices.
