...and so it begins

The Mango update is being deployed to all US carriers.

Thats great! But from other sources, only 10% of phones will get it this week, with another 25% getting the updates within the 2 weeks after that, and the rest receiving the update after all that.

So, while the update is officially rolling out, it could take a month for some people to get it.

Yeah, I did that too last night!
Im really liking the new features. Anybody notice if their screen looked better?
Perhaps it just my mind playing games with me, but the home screen looks crisper and more vibrant now....

Im surprised you didnt install the leaked rtm few weeks ago.....its been a sweet four weeks, btw how do you like??

Naah, need my phone for work, so no experiments on that device

I really like what I'm seeing so far. The big additions are nice, but it's mostly the little things that impress me most. Things like buttons and UI ribbon placements etc. LinkedIn integration is cool too, but now I'm thinking I could use a feature to seperate the address lists (switchable between all and one of the other lists: email accounts, Facebook, LinkedIn etc).

I think WP7 was already the best, usability wise, but now it's miles ahead of everything else (my personal opinion - no flames pls  ).

Unfortunately my biggest gripe wasn't fixed: having all appointments for the day scroll through the calendar tile.
Maybe Apollo, then ....

I feel you man, the O.S. and the update does a user good. Maybe they'll fix the calender issue on the tango update.
