Windows Phone 7 "NoDo" update now available, adds copy/paste and more

The much-anticipated and repeatedly delayed Windows Phone 7 "NoDo" update has finally been released by Microsoft. A number of ROMs for various devices had already been leaked to the Internet, so it's thought that Microsoft may have stepped in to stem the tide of unofficial updating.

So what all does NoDo bring to WP7 phones? First and foremost, copy and paste functionality has been added -- but there are plenty of other welcome enhancements. Another big change is the improved Marketplace search, which now limits results based on the category you're currently browsing (like apps, games, or music).

Application startup times have been reduced, the Outlook app has received some minor tweaks, and switching camera mode from photo to video is now more trouble-free. Bluetooth headset audio has been improved, as has the process of syncing of Facebook account data.

Your WP7 phone should notify if the update is available, but you can also force a check in the Zune desktop app or the Windows Phone 7 Connector for Mac.
