Will The Dell Venue Pro Be Getting The Mango Update? (i need to know apap). If this update doesn't come out for the dell venue pro, i will sell it. If yes, then i will keep it. Rumors say dell gave up on windows phone and dell won't put the mango update on the dell venue pro. PLEASE DELL!!! Don't do this!

    Cy_J, this didn't help. It said more news on AT&T dell venue pro coming soon. I don't want to wait a month after mango comes out and get the update. This is frustrating.

    Here is the latest information about Mango on the Dell Venue Pro as posted on Direct2Dell.

    "Here’s what I can say at this point: later this fall, we will be supporting Mango for customers in the U.S., EMEA and India with unlocked versions of the Venue Pro. We will also support the Mango upgrade for those with T-Mobile, Cincinnati Bell Wireless locked versions of the phone.

    Regarding customers with AT&T-locked units, more information will be forthcoming. When I confirm definitive plans here, I will provide an update. Just to make sure I'm being as clear as possible, here's a summary:

    Venue Pro + Microsoft’s Windows Phone 7.5 (Mango) OS update:

    We will support the upgrade from Windows Phone 7 to Mango for the following:

    • Customers with Unlocked Venue Pro units
    • Customers with T-Mobile and Cincinnati Bell SIM-Locked units

    The upgrade process will happen through Microsoft’s Zune update process, similar to the 2.12 firmware update process that I blogged about before.

    I know many of you have been asking about these upgrades. We appreciate the interest and the continued patience."

    Can DELL give any further information about mango update on Venu Pro?
    Please don't kill this product, by denying it the much needed mango udpate.

    I almost archived this post since it is a question but since you added the last sentence I left it.
