Windows Phone 7 Update For Samsung Devices by Microsoft

Last month Microsoft released a small update for Windows Phone 7 devices, the update was designed to get handsets ready for the first major update to Microsoft’s Windows Phone 7 OS.
When the update was released, a number of Samsung WP7 handset owners reported problems with the update, which even bricked some devices and Microsoft subsequently pulled the update.
