hmmmm, after reading this through, it looks like a combination of MS's upload tool + Chevron's side-loader utility. Not sure I'm quite ready to start 'hacking' THAT hard into my WP7 phone just yet.

I'm anxious to get the NoDo update, but I"m thinking a little more patience may be a virtue...

Turns out I was right.. when I got home and plugged in my phone, Zune reported there was an update available. 15 mins later I'm running v7390 (NoDo). Not a lot of 'visible' changes, but it's nice to know that the push is working.

BTW, I'm running an AT&T LG Quantum which was 'unbranded' using the registry hack. No Chevron7.
