Dell blogs about NoDo, teases about Venue Pro firmware update
True to his word, Lionel Menchaca from Dell has taken to the Dell blog to detail the February and March Windows Phone update aka pre-NoDo and NoDo for the Venue Pro. Adding some transparency to the process, something we know all of you like, they explain a bit of their method going on with the update and when you can expect it. While nothing earth shattering is revealed, it's nice to see some info direct from Dell on the matter, as we know many of you are anxiously waiting for NoDo (unless, of course, you forced the update, cough).
- Last week, we started a phased rollout of the Microsoft Copy and Paste update in EMEA and India.
- On March 29, we began a phased rollout of the Copy and Paste update to T-Mobile customers in the United States.
- There will be a Dell update that will provide additional enhancements/ fixes coming after this Copy and Paste Microsoft update. I don't have an ETA for the Dell update just yet.
- While the Copy and Paste update rollout started yesterday, it will happen in a phased rollout over the next few weeks.
Unfortunately while the pre-NoDo/NoDo updates are discussed in detail, the big upcoming Dell firmware update, which is expected to address some system instabilities and bugs on the Venue Pro is not. But, it is confirmed that it IS coming and that it exists, which, we really like the idea of and we're sure you do too. They'll post more when they can, but we've heard mid-to-late April for this firmware update--we wouldn't bet our life on that date though. Regardless, we'll be anxiously awaiting--the DVP is one sexy device and if Dell can iron out those remaining bugs, found mostly in the 16GB versions, we'll be very happy.

After updating to nodo my DVP is actually MORE unstable than before, have had more lockups in IE since updating last night. 2 other people have confirmed they had the same thing. Might be using that restore option by the end of the night.

Eck. That's not good...

16 or 8gb?I have an 8gb, and after the update the only downside I see is screen-tearing on the home-tile screen. It's a bit noticeable but not an experience killer for me. Having copy+paste and the added speed makes up for it.

I'm in California and hasn't gotten Nodo update for my DVP yet :(

16GB, but this feels like an escalation of the freezing issue I already had, IE in particular will start to slow down then go unresponsive, I can hit the Start button then it hangs completely and I have to reboot.

I'm wondering how will Dell push there Firmware update. Will it go through the carriers, and Microsoft? or will they provide a special Application to allow downloading / backup / flashing / restoring... it'll be interesting to see. I have the HTC HD7 and although HTC needs to update and fix some issue (camera for example) doesn't look like that'll happen since they're like 5-7 phones past the HD7 and they really go back and firmware update phones. I guess by Dell only have a limited amount of phone models its a good thing. Its to there advantage to do updates.

I got the Update and I got no problem at all, my DVP seldom freeze, happened 3 times in 5 month.The update was welcome (Much faster recovery on Games) but the memory still shows 256 MB (instead of 512) I was told nodo would fix that and show the actual 512 mb.
