Microsoft Scraps 'Where's My Phone Update?' Site

Posted by timothy on Saturday January 7, 2012 @06:03PM from the just-when-you-least-expect-it dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Microsoft disappointed some Windows Phone users on Friday by saying it would stop providing specifics about who will get software updates and when, and announcing vaguely that a new update is 'available to all carriers that request it.' The update fixes a few issues, including one that caused the on-screen keyboard to disappear and another that caused problems with synching Gmail. Eric Hautala, general manager of customer experience engineering for Windows Phone, said Microsoft will no longer say when people will get updates based on their country, phone model and carrier."

They're counting all the people who bought a Kin as well...

You jest, but Windows Phone is actually more popular than slashdotters think. On top of that it's predicted that with the help of Nokia, Windows Phone will have 12% market share in 2012.
