A month after Windows Phone 7.5 began shipping, Microsoft announced today that it is now pushing the Mango update to every eligible phone worldwide, regardless of carrier—with only three exceptions.
The only exceptions are the Samsung Omnia 7, Dell Venue Pro, Samsung Focus 1.4, two of which are still in testing (The Venue is still in planning). In addition, Microsoft is also hinting at a possible firmware update at some point next week. The update should improve performance, fix bugs, and activate new Mango features—the most important being Internet Sharing. The firmware update does vary by handset maker and won't be sent en mass like the main update, so don't freak if you don't get one. [WinRumors]
