Microsoft is making headlines this week after their recent Windows Phone 7 update has bricked some user's handsets and caused crashes on others.
The official Windows Phone 7 Troubleshooting Guide has a list of 19 possible error codes, and the final repair is simply a rollback to the more stable firmware.
While a small portion of users had their phones completely bricked by the update, most had lighter issues, such as the update failing.
LG Optimus 7 and Samsung Omnia 7 owners saw the highest proportion of bricked devices.
For now, Microsoft is asking users to not try the update for 72 hours, while it investigates and fixes.
To make matters even worse, the update doesn't bring the promised copy and paste feature, which Microsoft says is coming next month.
