I'm on Telus and I just got my February update a few hours ago. According to Bill Simser on twitter, he is also with telus, got the February update today, rebooted and then the nodo update was waiting for him as well. Although he is using an Omnia 7 phone, which if I am correct, is not a telus phone, which would explain why he got both updates.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the info!
ReplyDeleteyou are not using an unlocked HTC Surround are you? I am using an unlocked one on Fido. Probably going to try plugging into Zune tonight when I get home to see if I get the notification.
how was the update process? smooth I hope?
The Nodo updates are going out today for the non-brand phones which would explain why your friend got the notification.
A lot of the newer WP7 handsets are rolling out with NoDo preinstalled (Dell Venue Pro in India, HTC Arrive in the US).
My phone isn't unlocked. I didn't get the notification on the phone, just when I randomly checked in the zune software. Update was very painless, no issues whatsoever.
ReplyDeleteLooks like the unlocked HTC Surround are getting Telus love as well. Like Mike said you have to plug your phone into Zune Desktop to get the update.
