OS Updated but not firmware?

---

So a couple of days ago I updated my phone.
I used Windows Phone 7 Connector for mac doing this.

This updated the device to the following:

OS version: 7.10.8107.79
Firmware version: 1600.2479.7740.11451 ?

The latest FW version is 1600.2483.8106.11500 and is not what I've got in FW.
Is this an error?

I rolled back to 7.10.7740.16 and updated from Zune in Windows 7 (64 bit) that gave the exact same result with latest OS version but still the old FW version.

Ahh just read through at the dev section. I can see I'm not the only one.
Just thought they would update the whole device when they now took the time to tell me an update was available, guess the update process is weird on WP7

OS and firmware roll out separately. The OS is universal across all devices while the firmware is device specific so you can understand why they are separate.

Now why Nokia and MS can't coordinate so both updates come at the same time is a different question. Although i think in this case the firmware came out after the OS update.

I am still stuck up with the os version 7.10.7740.16

I got stuck with 1600.2479...

If thats the case how come some users received both the OS and Firmware update in one update? and has anyone received the OS update and then a couple days later received the firmware update?

Well I wrote Nokia to get a clear answer on this matter.

They might be downloaded at the same time but it isn't a single file. If you look into it the software update is a bunch of smaller files. It downloads the main OS and all the installed languages separately (I.E. doesn't download italian if you don't need it).

I received a firmware update for my trophy a week after i updated to mango.

It may have 1000 files but its reported on Zune as one update which contains the OS and the firmware. If it where 2 separate updates, Zune would run the the update twice like we had with mango. If it were 2 separate updates, there would have been 2 separate backups done.

So has anyone or know anyone who has received the OS update and then a few days later received the firmware update?

I think it's an error. Because Zune only checks up on the OS version 8107.79 and says there is no updates. So I hope Nokia will write me back soon to get a clear answer on this matter.
