From tomorrow Microsoft will be starting to officially roll out Windows Phone 7 build 7.10.8107.79 . The update will most likely come to all Windows Phone owners in Canada, but the above internal document reveals that Bell will deploy a 2-stage rollout for the LG Optimus Quantum and the HTC HD7. 

The “1st wave” will start on January 18th, followed by the “2nd wave” on January 25th. 

Here’s the complete list:

• On-screen keyboard. Fixes an issue to prevent the keyboard from disappearing during typing.
• Email. Fixes a Google mail syncing issue.

• Security. Revokes digital certificates from DigiCert Sdn Bhd to address an encryption issue.
• Email threads. Fixes an email issue related to Microsoft Exchange Server 2003. With this fix, when you reply to or forward a message, the original message is now included in your response.

DEAL: Amazon Selling Off Contract New Samsung Focus For $240; Surround $195; Quantum $160

Interesting deal over at Amazon. They’re selling an off-contract Samsung Focus for $240. For those of you not looking to get tied up for another 2 years that’s not a bad price. 

The Craigslist price for a used Focus is around $200 so the extra $40 for ‘new’ isn’t too much. Of course, it’s a year old phone with a first gen CPU so this is probably for people that need to fill a gap before their contract renewal comes up but a deal is a deal.

While we’re at it, the Surround is $195 (only 4 left) directly from HTC which is pretty solid and the Quantum is $160
