MICROSOFT SCREWS UP WINDOWS PHONE PATCH TO FIX THE UPDATE SCREW-UP

Earlier this week, Microsoft released a patch for the first Windows Phone 7 update to fix issues involving WP7 installs on Samsung handsets.

Why the patch? Easy: the earlier update was actually bricking some Samsung handsets, and failing to install on others Unfortunately, the updated update seemingly has its own issues, as some users are now reporting that it won’t install on their handsets..

To be fair, most devices are handling the update ably, even those that previously had failed to install the last, buggy update. Unfortunately, a minority of devices are still having issues, and it’s not entirely clear what the cause is, although some users are reporting that uninstalling some apps and freeing up disk space is resolving the issue.
