With Mango now in RTM, how soon can we expect release version for none contract phone?
It seems September is pretty solid for next wave of Windows Phone.

Most likely as soon as the manufacturers themselves sign off on Mango.
Could be by the end of the month..

I remember when they were doing the 4 digit naming policy. I had a 7250i and loved that phone and the shitty pictures it took (unfortunately it got stolen).
A few years ago everyone knew the more famous models:
- The 6310 business phone which made calls, sent text messages and the battery lasted for two weeks.
- The 7110 - the unofficial matrix phone
- The 5210 - rugged phone where you could chuck it out of a 10th floor windows and it would still look and work great
- The 3300 (pre)ngage style music phone
Good times.

That event is at the day GamesCom starts, but not on the exhibition side and looks like a press-only party (with lot of booze). So it seems doubtful that they'll announce the Sea Ray at this event. You can win three Xbox 360S with Kinect and three Nokia Windows Phones, but you'll only get the phones when they're available.thirty said:

Nice choice and welcome to the WP7 club.Sennorin said:Omnia 7 get!
My first smartphone, and damn, it´s so classy and smooth. Turned it off, though, because my SIM card has yet to arrive. But this seems to be a very cool tool. Happy, happy, happy

play with it a bit, then upgrade to mango as soon as possible. you shan't regret it.
He's not lying, I can't believe that I ever used the phone before Mango. I know that sounds like hyperbole, but the small improvements add up.xbulletholes said:
Side note: I think I use the task switcher and copy and paste about once a week each. I'm not sure why those are the features that "people can't live without", but I personally like the email threading, linked inboxes, Facebook chat and Twitter integration more. Now to start writting apps to justify paying $100 for a Mango beta.

Microsoft has to announce killer apps for the WP7. One of the important function, compared with other mobile OS, is the Xbox Live support. Microsoft has to support more.
Okay that was OT, sorry guys.
Next year will be a lot of fun. Halo 4 etc. And I try to gather a lot of HaloGAF dude. Maybe I'll look into a location for kind of big Halo Lan in cologne. Otherwise I'll be able to speak FrenchMagniHarvald said:Won't be there this year Hyper, I'll see you at another GCIf there are 999's on the showfloor, steal one for me

Looks like T-Mobile will get a Windows Phone with HSPA+.

I'll take an AT&T HSPA+ phone as well, thanks.

If you smell burning, it's probably the generators acting up. Report it anyway.
Own a Windows Phone? We want to hear from you! Attend a research panel in London on 10th/11th Aug (and get £60). Sign up: j.mp/mVC1tv

Own a Windows Phone? Want to tell us what you love, what you dont love, whats your favourite feature? Were looking for 24 enthusiastic UK fans to attend a research panel in central London, on the evenings of 10th/11th August at 6:15pm or 8pm. Youll get £60 for your time, trouble and travel. Well also feed you and might have some surprises on the day and beyond.
Sounds like the money is guaranteed. If you can't make it and I'm lucky enough to be selected I'll let you all know and will compile a series of requests/complaints you guys have and take it with me.

Went back to NoDo and Zune 4.7 in hope to get the firmware update for my Optimus 7, because it's acting weird lately (Zune with WiFi enabled still kills Zune playback sometimes). Now it says my phone is up to date, ahhh. Fuck. Doing a hard reset now and then I'll go back to mango. Makes me want a 2nd gen device even more.
E: I don't remember being able to chose between "recommended" and "custom" during the phone setup. They must have added it in NoDo.

Seems like it would be easy to add just by doing a short or long press on the camera button, depending on how they would prefer the camera application start as I think it should take priority.

Go to settings>speech and scroll down to the bottom.. set "Read aloud incoming text messages" to which ever setting you want.. if you set it to "Always" it will say "Incoming Text Message from <Contact Name>.. say Read it or Ignore"
If you say "Read It" it will read it aloud to you and give you the option to reply, call or say you're done.
as for the artist background, it's in settings>lock+wallpaper

It will say the name (or number, if it isn't a contact of yours) of the caller, is my understanding.
I know this because someone was complaining about it reading the name of the caller aloud and was worried about other people hearing it.
Is the W7 UI customizable? I might look into it in 19 or so months when its upgrade time again. But I absolutely hate the UI. With a passion. But goddamn is every demo and youtube of the UI I see blazing fast. Android was choppy as shit for a while until recently on some of the newer phones. W7 just glides, it looks to have a shitload of potential.

Yeah if you don't like the UI you aren't gonna like the phone. That being said the UI looks waaayy better when it's your own shit on the phone so the Me tile looks like well ME, and the music is the music I've been playing, and the pics my favs, and the contacts my contacts etc... as it makes me personally feel at home.

It's a device that is more customized by your content than just about any other device.
The tiles light up with your contacts and what they're up to, friends photos fill your picture hub along with your own (separated, of course.. so you're free to see just your own if you want)
I fell in love with the UI at first due to the speed. Then I saw the device come alive when I put my contacts and accounts on the device and I started to appreciate the lack of chrome and how the UI tried to get out of my way as much as possible and put my content front and center and finally clarity and readability of the fonts.
The animations still entertain me and I'll have had the phone for a year in november.
It helps that I have zunepass and a 360.. which are two other aspects of the device that really make it a great experience for me.

Showed someone the translator using bing vision. They were wow'd. As was I the first time I stumbled on it...
I changed my mind and applied to that London thing. If I get chosen I will be going with a list
e: also not matter what I try I can't get fb chat to work in Mango...
