snip Mango Mongo list...
When I bought my Windows Phone in December 10 while everyone was saying ... buh buh buh...copy/paste...
I said to myself, I saw what Ms did with Xbox live software from the launch of 360 to now I KNEW they would be all over this shit.
Another day, more Mango

This is business oriented functionality, but it looks like we'll be getting conversation view for email and support for hidden wifi networks.

When you're missing so much from the start, it's hard not to be.
But all ribbing a aside, this is excellent news for any potential smartphone owner. Having 3 legitament operating systems to choose from, means a lot more competition now. More competition means quicker updates to each platform, so we all win in the end.
I keep reading that Mango will have a ton of stuff, but I've yet to hear about one feature that is going to bring much. What is the one feature that all smartphone owners should look forward to, no matter their background? It feels like Windows phones are still playing catchup to android.
exactly, look at what Samsung is doing with touchwiz on Android. it takes many elements from wp7 and implements it for their UI. Google is now going to be working harder with makers and carriers to get updates out. all this because Microsoft is on their ass.kinggroin said:
anyway, when do we expect MS to officially show off Mango and the new phones to be released? I'm dying to see Samsung show a galaxy S2 equivalent and possibly a high end Nokia.

I'm asking for a great feature that I should be excited about! I'm genuinely interested. I don't care about password encryption, etc. I'm not into fanboyism (I have a Zune HD and I reside in France, it's not sold here, I had to import it and pay quite a bit, if that tells you how I feel about microsoft's products). In this instance, I feel like WP7 is taking too long to improve.
Gabyskra said:
The fact that you're using password encryption as your example tells me you haven't really looked into what Mango is adding. How about instant messaging integrated into the OS? How about enhanced live tiles? Significant performance improvements? Turn-by-turn directions? All of the additional APIs that will allow developers to create apps with all of the same functionality as their iOS and Android counterparts?
Mango is pretty much bringing WP7 to parity with Android and iOS while still maintaining and improving in its own innovative areas.

While I would love to have more updates to the platform now, I have to say this one huge overhaul is probably a best way to go. Windows Phone 7 is pretty much dead in the water at the moment. The growth is nominal at best and hasn't exactly excited the mass, thanks to poorly launch event (or none-event) and follow up with poor post launch from buggy hardware(s), update debacles and crappy PR by Windows Phone team.
I think this is great opportunity for them to do full launch of "complete" platform. A do-over of a do-over so to speak.
Mango will be a real contender if all that reveal so far make it into the release (and they can make the release schedule). What they are showing so far is quite ambitious and I am hoping that they are not again over-promise then under-deliver.
Anyway, one thing I really hope for and seems they are going to deliver is better Xbox integration. It is clear that mobile phone / pad are going to be the portable gaming devices for many and the current implementation is half-ass and really doesn't take advantage of what Xbox Live have to offer.
I can't wait for full Mango reveal and hopefully they will have more solid time frame about next wave of devices and when we can expect Mango phone.
May be we should get new thread?

Whoa, buddy. Calm down, okay?Earl Cazone said:
I said I'd update the OP and maybe replace some bits and pieces, instead of just updating the future section. I never said I'd already do a new OT. if someone wants to do that, please, go ahead. If you need any info or material, just ask. Also, a new gaming ot would be nice.Earl Cazone

Well, my OT for the MIX presentation was an abject failure, so a new Mango OT is up for grabs

I was the one who pushed them on their blog and got them to admit it was a "feature". Ill definitely keep pushing them although I think they got the message.
well i'm going to keep at them until this annoying "feature" is expanded to include saving your settings. i urge everyone to do the same.VanMardigan said:

I went to my local at&t store today and they have completely remove all Windows Phone 7 display .... there is not a single sign left. All the demo phones are gone. Not sure if they are planning a new promotion or what.
Anyway play with the new Infuze, that is one big screen. It would be nice to get WP7 version of that phone.

On a side note I know it's not the gaming thread, but I hardly ever post on the gaming side anymore. That whole stealth delay in that big group of 6 games SUCKED BIG TIME. I know we are supposedly starting it by the end of the month, but it just felt like another example of all the problems they've been having so far with the platform as a whole.

Mango supports 16 new languages.MCD said:
It would help to mention which languages you mean.
Worst part is that all games are already done. I bet Angry Birds for WP is the vanilla version.Brettison said:

That's what I was asking for. I thought Arabic would be in, but it's not even in the expanded market for app development.numble said:
I think the problem here is to translate the Metro UI well enough. They already said it took them some time to get it for the Asian languages right.MCD said:

They were all busy, and I just go in to pay my bill (automate machine). I am assuming they are just rearranging though it was disheartening to see.besiktas1 said:You should have asked them
VanMardigan
has calmed down a bit.
I can think of two reasons:antiquegamer said:
-the launch period is long gone with no new phones out (htc hd7s should've been out by now) I'm actually surprised the displays stayed up that long. In my local store, they are STILL up. But I guess that was what "premier partner" meant. I'm willing to bet they have sold more wp7 devices than anyone else.
-I'll have to look this up, but I'm pretty sure they'll be doing another similar promotion with the mango devices this fall. What I would change if I were microsoft is the fact that, although the displays were nice, it was clear that the employees were not properly schooled on the benefits of the os.
It's interesting how it works in Canada for commercials. I think Apple likes carriers to use their commercials so sometimes it's an iPhone commercial followed by a carrier logo. Otherwise, it's just a carrier commercial and they'll always showcase one WP7 handset (one of the two or so each carrier has), an Android handset (usually the new hot one), and a BlackBerry handset (almost always Torch).

Any word if the upcoming Mango phones will support nVidia Tegra2 or Tegra3 chipsets....
I would really like to get some dual or quad core love on WP7

Maybe dual core, but I doubt we see any quad core phones this year regardless of what OS.Kleegamefan said:Any word if the upcoming Mango phones will support nVidia Tegra2 or Tegra3 chipsets....

Any reason why you feel you need the extra power though?
