When Steve Ballmer took center stage in Las Vegas to kick off the Consumer Electronics Show for the year 2011, it was only a matter of time before he touched the Windows Phone 7 subject. And when he did, he confirmed to the Windows Phone audience that they will be getting their first Windows Phone 7 update.

Disappointingly, the ever so excited Steve Ballmer didn’t provide a specific release date for the update which according to a rumor will be called No Donuts or NoDo. All we know is that it will be released in early 2011 which obviously is a vague release date and won’t help the Windows Phone 7 handset owners.

Winrumors believes that the Redmondians are yet to RTM the first Windows Phone 7 update which will bring the all important copy/paste functionality and much more hopefully from this list. If Winrumors information is accurate which normally is, then u can expect the No Donuts update to land on your smartphone at least no earlier than February. We would love it if Microsoft proves us wrong in this particular case, but based on the current scenario, it is highly unlikely for the update to go live in January.
