1st gen/2nd gen windows os

I'm not very technical or anything so bare with me

With the new windows 7 phones, because they are so new will the next lot have like upgraded or 2nd generation software? I need a new phone but really don't know whether to hang on another month or so and see what comes out.

I like the Trophy, but there's a new HTC 7 pro that looks cool out 'early next year'

There will be updates to the software but they should be available for all WP7 phones.

Also, MS have set a minimum spec for all Win Phone 7 phones so your phone should be OK for any future updates.

There will be an update after xmas.
Then around spring time Microsoft are releasing the 2nd gen version with more flexible hardware requirements (expect more phones )and more access and customisation for apps. I hear they are making the keynote at MWC.
Just a guess, but you could see 2nd generation Windows phone 7 handsets in the 2quarter?

Cool, cheers for the replies! This stuff really confuses me! I try to keep a bit up to date and know what I'm talking about, but I get confused easily with it all.
Comitting to a contract (well making any big decision ) is such a big deal for me! I know as soon as the 7 day settling in period or whatever it's called is up a brand new phone I desperately want will be released! I know you could think like this for ages and never get anything but they release so many phone's!!

Yeah, I want to get a WP7 phone but not yet. I'm waiting to see how they go in terms of update rollouts and I want to see the second-gen of hardware before I commit.

Just biding my time on a payg network at the moment.

Found an interesting article about the second update. Apparently it could be sooner than I thought.
