Hoping for a release date or specs or something. Something that might be indicative of what we'll see here in the US.
Edit: Looks like 32 gigs of storage, 512 meg RAM, and a 13 megapixel camera. No word on speed of the CPU, just says 8655. My guess would be 1GHz though

32GB, 12MP (can't be more), 10.6 mm thick and probably the MSM8655.PG2G said:

It's 13.2, unless google translate is screwing up. This is from the official msft site

I know, but I trust Qualcomm more than MS or Fujitsu.PG2G said:
If the SoC doesn't support more than 12MP, how are they doing it?

Isn't the lack of a FFC a bit of a deal breaker in Japan?
Says 13.2 MP. Weird.PG2G said:
They should be providing some information on the dev plans for RTM tomorrow, I'd hold off on doing the Beta.

Mango just went RTM, I don't think there are any finished builds for retail devices and I doubt they'll distribute it without he final RTM dev tools. Whatever they're going to say tomorrow, it won't be an announcement for the availability of the RTM for devs. I'll gladly eat a mango if it happens.PG2G said:
possible, didn't think about this solution. That would mean the 16MP cam in the Bresson could be real.

I hope the storage is a sign of things to come for other Mango devices.

RTM is retail mango from a MS perspective.
There may be manufacturer firmware updates, but firmware and OS updates can be separate.
People that used the unbranded hack to update to nodo early got prompted for a manufacturer firmware update if their device needed it, whereas people who waited for the official nodo update that was approved by their carrier got the firmware update rolled into it.
I suspect devs will have to roll back to their nodo backup and then apply the mango RTM update when it is made available to them.

carriers and consumers.
carriers need to get out of Android Fever mode and consumers neeeeeeeeeeeed to know more about Windows Phone 7.
Devs so far seem fine, anything I want from any other OS I can find in WP7.

I dont remember Android having advertisements from carriers until it started making them money (besides the original mytouch commercials which was basically tmobiles only phone, i dont even remember knowing it was android). MS needs to bankroll it (with nokias help now) until it starts making carriers money.

What are the odds of Mango changing this?

It looks like developers won't get the RTM, but a slightly older build. 7712 is the dev build, 7720 the RTM. They did the same last year, when the developer phones Taylor and Panther got 7003 instead of 7004. Sounds good to me. I'm still curious about the Zune client and worried that we haven't heard anything about a significant update.
Today we learned that Samsung is planing another Mango device, from the SGH-6x7 series, which is known for having a portrait keyboard.
A new marketing push is planed for the Mango release. Nokia will have their own campaign. Looks like the current phones are EoL and with more and more devices and leaks and rumors about new devices every day, we shouldn't be too far off.CrazedProfessional said:

Another thing, why not morph Zune into the next Windows Media Player? I mean, one is better than the other and they're both free. So why does Windows Media Player still exist?
The next WMP should just be ZUNE Software. There's no reason for it not to be.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
Am I the only one that wishes the Toshiba phone had more than 512 ram? I'm not saying it totally needs it I guess, but IDK... I guess in my mind I have this tandum thing of if you are gonna up to dual core time to up the RAM as well..
It seems a bit better over here in Australia. I usually see the HTC Trophy demo units set up at Telstra, and Optus has the Optimus 7 and Omnia 7 on display. It also helps that they're incredibly cheap now compared to most of the other phones.Ultimatum said:
Most of my friends know of it though, surprisingly. I showed someone and they said 'Hey, is that a Windows Phone? Have you installed Mango yet?'. They really liked how smooth the UI was, though (even those with iPhones), which is something Microsoft should be promoting.
The capacitive buttons would be better if they actually required you to tap it. Sliding across he button shouldn't be able to activate them. They would be a pretty decent substitute for physical buttons otherwise.
Just typed that entire thing on my Omnia 7. The virtual keyboard in landscape is godly. :lol

Look, I don't want to be that guy again (okay, I do) and I don't know if this changed between CE6 and CE6 R3, but when CE6 came out, it could only address 512MB of physical memory at max.Brettison said:
http://blogs.msdn.com/ce_base/archive/2006/11/01/The-CE6-OS-differences-in-a-nutshell.aspx
It's possible that they changed that in those three years between the RTM and R3, but I can't find any confirmation and the R3 release note don't mention it either.
Of course, this is pure speculation on my part.
I feel like the worst fanboy ever :lol

Just jumping to conclusions. It's my favorite game. :lolRobobandit said:
And yes, it was all over twitter. The unofficial Windows Phone dev podcast tweeted this:
@wpdevpodcast: We've got 7,712 reasons for you to look forward to tomorrow!#wp7dev
Then you have the tweet from that Microsoft guy who wanted to announce something within 24 hours and Brandon Watson who initially said that it would be awesome if devs could get early hands on. And last, but not least:
But it's obviously the wpdev podcast tweet that kicked it off.
