Remember Microsoft's Windows Phone 7 launch? Well, according to what WMPowerUser is hearing the WP 7.5 "Mango" update could be just as big. Apparently, on May 24th, the company could be making up to 9 phones official: 2 from HTC, 2 from Acer, 1 from Dell, and 4 from Samsung. Obviously, this is a long time coming since we haven't seen a new Windows Phone in a long time.
The Dell smartphone is said to be the Dell "Wrigley" (possibly a Venue Pro 2), while one of the Samsung phones could be similar to the Galaxy S II which would be a great look for them. Look our for them tomorrow and we'll see if what they're hearing is correct.

This should be awesome. The feature list is amazing, and more manufacturers are a great thing. Mango looks to be the “Froyo” of WP7. A game changer of an update.
ReplyDeleteMicrosoft is trying hard with the
ReplyDeletewindow7.5 phone to stand apart for good from the mobile space kings (ANDROID
and Apple) but, may be Microsoft will still have to wait for the features of
much awaited iOS 5 and Ice Cream sandwich to be disclosed. Apart from the IE9
browser, there are 2 features among the reported 500 features of Mango, those
are Quick Cards and Local Scout. Though both the features are identical, the
Local Scout will give the info about the events happening in the neighborhood
whereas, the Quick Cards displays all the info about a searched item in Bing.
Mango may no longer be a secret in and of itself, but we doubt Microsoft would've set up an entire event to preview its big Windows Phone update if there was nothing hidden up that Redmond sleeve.
