Microsoft delays Windows Phone copy/paste update

delayedLikely due to some of the problems it had with its initial update, Microsoft’s French WP blog (via Mobile Burn) has announced that its long-awaited “NoDo” update to Windows Phone 7 will be delayed until the end of March. The update is said to add key functionality like copy and paste abilities to Windows Phone. At the Mobile World Congress last month, CEO Steve Ballmer reiterated that the update would be available during the first two weeks of March. There was no explanation for the delay.

A small percentage of Samsung Windows Phone users reported major problems and bricked phones when Microsoft released its initial update a week or so ago, a patch that updated the updating process itself. To receive the update, users will have to connect their Windows Phone to a PC and connect it to Microsoft’s Zune software.

I was reminded of this soul-crushing monolog while doing a rerun of Rick and Morty before diving into the latest season. These lines rattled me, not for their essence, but because they echoed with my low spirits at that moment. Lying on the couch, I curled into the blanket and watched a few more episodes.

I was watching the show on the OnePlus Open and couldn't possibly imagine the same experience using any other phone or tablet. It's not because the OnePlus Open is one of my favorite phones of this year (it is, but that's not related), but because it is one of the most helpful phones with a feature-rich software experience and screen real-estate of a tiny tablet like the iPad mini.
