Microsoft releases Windows Phone 7.5 (Mango OS) update

As promised, Microsoft has released the update allowing consumers to delve into the Mango goodness. Although Microsoft plans to roll out the update to 98 percent of Windows Phone owners, the Redmond giant will slowly and gradually make the update available to all.

Accordingly, the Windows Phone 7.5 update will be available this to 10 percent of the users with another 15 percent expected by next week. If the update goes well for the small percentage of users, Microsoft will open the tap for the remaining ones.

The Mango update boasts more than 500 features and improvements like improved social networking integration, real-time Live Tiles, IE9 browser, multitasking and more.
