Microsoft asks users not to jailbreak Windows Phone 7... Unofficial updates are not supported by Microsoft, which says that “you might not be getting the important device-specific software we would typically deliver in the official update...
Eric Hautala, General Manager of Customer Experience Engineering, writes that the firm is “not going to be happy until everyone gets their update”. He says, however, that although “we’ve started delivering the March “copy and paste” update to customers of O2 and SFR in Europe…I’ve noticed that some of you are turning to homebrew solutions to update your phone immediately.”
Jailbreaking is the practice of giving an individual user more control over their phone than the manufacturers of the hardware or software intended.
Hautala says that “As an engineer and a gadget lover, I totally understand the impulse to tinker. You want the latest technology and you’re tired of waiting. Believe me, I get it. But my strong advice is: wait.”
Unofficial updates are not supported by Microsoft, which says that “you might not be getting the important device-specific software we would typically deliver in the official update. Or your phone might get misconfigured and not receive future updates. It’s even possible your phone might stop working properly.”
Hautala continues, “Bottom line: unsupported workarounds put you in uncharted territory that may void your phone warranty.”
Users, however, have been keen to point out that they’re only jailbreaking phones because Microsoft has been slow to roll-out the update. Google Android and Apple’s iOS rival operating systems both already offer copy and paste, among other features.
