Microsoft has announced that it's begun rolling out its eagerly awaited Mango update across all Windows Phone handsets, bringing features such as multitasking and a whole host of other changes to the OS.

Once again, the roll-out will be a gradual process dependent on network operator and other factors.

The good news is that, according to the update guide on Microsoft's official Mango blog, every network on the planet has the Windows Phone 7.5 firmware update ready to roll.

If you’re impatient, though, WPCentral has only gone and found a secret exploit in the update process that allows you to bypass the waiting period and get Mango immediately.

Our very own Keith Andrew has tried it out on his HD7 and says it’s working fine, but you undertake this procedure at your own risk.
