Well this is something new. Here in the tech world, we hear of delay after delay, but very few companies come out and say: ' Hey! We are ideally come earlier! "

Today, Microsoft was that company and the product was Windows phone 7 mango.

Peter Wissinger, Director of Microsoft's mobile business in the Nordic countries, today released an official statement on the status of mango in:

And for those whose Swedish can be a little rusty, translation:

"Now it's up to our manufacturing partners to release mango for our clients. Microsoft has full mango earlier than planned for producers. Feels good right now. "

(Shout out to WinMobile .se to identify statement first)

The only hanging: just because Microsoft finished mango earlier did not mean that its OEM partners are ready to rock and roll. Microsoft is currently in the list of hardware partners includes HTC, LG, Samsung, Dell, Acer, Fujitsu, ZTE Corporation, and, of course, Nokia. We already know that Fujitsu has something (probably a Toshiba-Fujitsu IS12T) in the works, scheduled for early September, and at the end of June, we got a quick peek at the Nokia first mango Smartphone, the so-called "Sea Ray".

There is really no telling how long will it take to get them out of WP7 devices based on mango or when we could expect-mango devices to start to see updates, but the ball is out of Microsoft in court.

If you keep up with mango Windows phone (which you absolutely must be, because it looks pretty awesome), remember that we reported on the possible release of September 1 for the update. Reliable, yet untitled, Pocket-Lint sources confirmed rumours. Well that's that. We were absolutely right. We're just not sure what part we were right about yet — that his ear, or that we will see mango 1 September.

Vice President of Microsoft's Windows phone Joe Belfiore sent out a Tweet debunking 1 September claims. "# mango 1 September? Just a rumor, "he tweeted. We want to believe you, Joe. Indeed, we do. But the Pocket-Lint, usually pretty solid with the rumors and the timing couldn't be more perfect with the IFA on the following day. IFA is the largest show gadget in Europe, and the Windows phone also happens to be incredibly popular in Europe. Connecting the dots?

Companies often uncomfortable to walk the line between teasing secrets and keeping them closely guarded. They want us to know that something is absolutely amazing is going to go, but they do not want us to know where, when, or what the situation. In this case, it would be very shocking, if Microsoft does not use the IFA show his latest and greatest OS. But it is very understandable that Belfiore wants to get the cat back in the bag, at least for the moment.
