Update 8107 finally lands for Windows Phone Mango, fixes disappearing keyboard issue.

Sometime ago, Microsoft prompted an outrage when they announced that their latest update to Windows Phone Mango will be pushed to devices at the discretion of carriers. While I am not particularly affected by this this I still showed support for my many friends around the globe who relies on carriers to receive updates . Shortly after that announcement, Joe Belfiore himself, the Windows Phone boss, tweeted to tell his followers and the community at large not to overreact. 
That's the short story behind Microsoft latest update for it's mobile OS. This morning I finally receive the popup  on my phone showing that the update is now available in Mauritius and most likely in the region too. Connect your phone to your computer with Zune to download and install the update.


What's in the update:
Fixes an on-screen keyboard issue to prevent the keyboard from disappearing during typing.
