Windows Phone 7.5 "Mango" update is shipping

Yesterday saw the worldwide release of Windows Phone 7.5 "Mango" [Build 7.10 (7720)]. Microsoft has started the roll out of the Windows Phone 7.5 update to more than 98 percent of existing Windows Phone customers.

This is a simultaneous, coordinated, global update that cuts across carriers, phone models, and countries. While the roll-out includes most of the carriers and handsets, they’re not making the update available to everyone at once. As a result, it may be a few weeks before an update message for Windows Phone 7.5 appears for some of you. Check Where’s My Phone Update? for the latest global delivery status info and Update Central for help and how-to guidance.
