Microsoft France States Second Half of March Release For NoDo

"After March 8 - one of the most prevalent rumored dates for Microsoft's "NoDo" update to Windows Phone 7 - came and went, many WP7 users were wondering what happened. The new word is the update is now coming in the second half of March."

Microsoft France has just posted in their blog stating the NoDo update will be coming in the second half of March 2011 which is contrary to CEO Steve Ballmer's announcement at MWC of an early March release.  It is unclear if this new release estimate applies to all WP7 phones or what is the cause for the possible delay.  Though one could speculate that the problems experienced in the recent updates may have played a role.  Personally, I don't mind a delay if it ensures the update process will run smoothly.  With the recent problems, it is imperative the NoDo update goes off without a hitch.
