Ok guys, who wants to place bets on who's the last to update their phones?

It's a shame there aren't any Sony Ericsson wp7 phones out yet

Well, I have an unlocked LG E900 and a operator locked HTC HD7.....

Who knows but I am hoping the LG one gets it first.

It is make or break for Nokia.

Whilst this is a great update, it's only catch-up between Apple and Google. There isn't any bleeding edge features such as support for NFC. I know that there is only two phones on the market with this, but if Microsoft makes it a manatory requirement in its next hardware spec, it could really lead the way where Apple are missing out and Google's Nexus One is drifting along.

Still rubbish enterprise support. Improved but rubbish.
I hope they get it to at least as good as the rubbish in every other way but enterprise support WM6.5

What would be the point in adding NFC support when no WP& devices have NFC chips?

They could add NFC to their next hardware platform and then add support for it in a new build of the OS for that platform. Hell, the code might already be there for all we know (granted someone would be bound to find it if it was there) and just needs enabled.
