Although lots of folks have received the update for the Samsung Omnia 7, officially at least it's still not available--or rather the firmware that's tied into it is not as easy to get (you can still force-update to Mango, but not get the firmware).
We got word now that Microsoft has updated the "Where's My Phone Update" list and whereas before it said "Except Samsung Omnia 7 models" it has now changed to the more favorable "Except Samsung Omnia 7 models, which are Testing at this time."
Hey, baby steps. At this rate, we're thinking by the end of October sounds like a plausible date for actual release. We'll keep an eye out. Thanks, Gary M., for the heads up!

Microsoft refreshes Where's My Phone Update list, Omnia 7 now in testing
Hurry up.Me and my apps miss the 3G-connection :(
I did force the update to Mango on my Omnia 7 and I received the firmware update as well. Or at least I have the exact same fw version as some people who got the update without any tricks.
Disappointed that no updates were made to the US page :(
Had to de-brand my T Mobile (UK) Omnia 7 but did manage to get the update. Love it. Its a proper phone now!
wait a minute, i forec-updated. does that mean i will not be able to receive a new official firmware? I have not noticed and problems so far (2 weeks now), but will i be missing something?
