Microsoft has acknowledged today that some Windows Phone 7 users are still having issues updating the firmware of their phones, adding to issues WP7 users have had since February trying to update their software.
Earlier in the year, some owners even had their brand new devices turned to bricks when trying to update their firmware.
As of this week, the problem lies with Samsung Focus owners in the U.S.
Focus owners are just not getting any notifications that their updates are available, and therefore cannot download and install them.
Those affected are running REV 1.4 (which is outdated), while those that are receiving the notifications are running REV 1.3 (even more outdated).
Furthermore, European Omnia 7 owners will not be receiving updates for the time being, either.
Says Microsoft (via CW):
The team discovered a technical issue with the update package for this model. The work of fixing and testing the package is nearly done, and the team hopes to resume update deliveries soon.
