Microsoft reminding users to upgrade to Windows Phone 7.5 update

Microsoft has another blog post reminding the users of their WP platform to update their devices to 7.5 edition.

This update would become essential in the coming weeks if they want to use apps on their phones.

The company said in the blog post:

If you’re just tuning in, my earlier post has all the details on why we’re doing this. (In short, the new requirement is tied to a larger Marketplace improvement effort.) But the key takeaway is that if you like apps and games, you’ll soon need Windows Phone 7.5 installed to continue using Marketplace. Most of you already do.

Comments on the blog post are however very critical in nature. Users are complaining that their carriers have still not released patched updates for their devices which is causing them a lot of issues.
