Microsoft isn't having much luck updating its Windows Phone 7 smartphone operating system launched last year.
Last month it released a minor upgrade, but had to withdraw it after it bricked some Samsung phones.
WindowsITPro website is reporting Microsoft could re-release the update - with fixes - this week.
But everyone is waiting for WP7 "major update" Mango scheduled to be released later this year to include features like cut-and-paste.
WindowsITPro says it understands Microsoft is finding the schedule "a near impossibility" and Mango may be delayed until 2012.
This is a blow for the newly-announced Microsoft-Nokia alliance, where Nokia smartphones will run WP7, but will be a welcome break for Apple and Android to get an even firmer foothold in the smartphone market.
