FAIL: Microsoft Windows Phone Update to Help Update Bricks and Breaks

February 2011:  Microsoft releases its first Windows Phone 7 system software update, and, in typical Windows fashion, the download began to kill, crush and destroy the operating Windows cell phones.

Samsung, one of the leading cell phone brands (and the creator of some pretty gorgeous OLED touch screen DROIDS like the one my girlfriend has, and it is pretty, like her), succumbed to having many of its Windows 7 phones seize up in cardiac arrest as inoperable, or in techie terms:  bricked (because it only functions as a block of rock and cement, at that point, or an expensive paper weight).  Samsung suspended the download.

Microsoft’s first major update to their phones’ software was not even going to contain the cut and paste option or a host of other long overdue conveniences that their phones remain impotent with.  The horrendous update was simply to make their devices better able to receive updates.  That’s right, they made an Update just to upgrade the Updates and they FAILED!

Clearly Microsoft’s diligence in their software updates of Windows products is one we, the consumers, can trust to harness our cell phone that we depend on in today’s society to talk, use data, Internet and work on.

March 2011:  Microsoft resumed its Windows Phone 7 updates for Samsung customers:  it still either broke the phones, or non-violently failed to complete the update at all.  The computer company powerhouse, built on a foundation of popsicle sticks, has since stated that 90% of the Windows Phone 7 users can complete the download (which only allows for better Updates and could theoretically melt your phone’s software).

While Blackberry’s fruit, Apple’s iPhones and Android’s Droids continue to rule the portable phoning world with software that works and updates that tend to keep the unit functioning, Microsoft lumbers on trying to force their shaky Windows structure on all of our lives.

The statement from Twitter to the many angry Windows users:

FAIL!
