I have to say I was never into the MS version of location-gate because it seemed like the only reason location data was being sent to MS was effectively a glitch in the camera turning on and making a background call and MS wasn’t saving this data. Anyway, it’s over. Rafael Rivera has tested his … Read more
Still seems like there’s some time for a release as they don’t give a date (other than the holidays). Remember, this is a relatively low end phone relative to the crowd but it’s still a welcomed addition: Today, T-Mobile announced the upcoming availability of the HTC Radar™ 4G, our first Windows® Phone capable of 4G … Read more
More Mango news: Regarding visual voicemail, thisismynext reports “Visual voicemail must be enabled by your carrier, and initially, T-Mobile will be the only American carrier supporting it. AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint will hopefully get it turned on eventually — between the iPhone and Google Voice, it’s quickly become a must-have feature — but there’s no … Read more

Samsung has a few new Mango apps in the Marketplace. There’s All Share which is a DLNA app. Fire it up on a Focus and it tells you that your phone is not supported and closes. OK, so next up is Video Call (here’s the link). Turn it on and it tells you that it … Read more
Until I hear it from Brandon Watson’s mouth I don’t trust it. And here it is: They’ve pulled it off again. Made us anxious but considering they were warning us from day one that a reversion was necessary this is great. Happy devs are good devs.
PocketNow has this image of a Focus S in the wild. That’s a 4.3” screen and if you look at it compared to the Focus it’s greatly improved. The ‘chin’ is gone and the glass goes to the edge which is definitely thin. Where are they with a release date or actual stock photos? The … Read more
“The new TouchXperience will of course take benefit from Mango API f.e. you can pin whatever you want on start screen (folders, shortcuts, custom tiles,…) or you can get it running in background without using any hack… I’m still working on it, no release date at the moment, and a new version of WP Device … Read more
If you go to Bing on an HTML5 browser today you’ll see there’s a video instead of a photo as the background. Pretty neat actually. Of course, the next logical step is to fire it up on my Windows Phone. No dice. Even though IE9 on the phone should render HTML5 video, it doesn’t. So … Read more
The HTC Radar is the lower spec’d Windows Phone coming in a Mango flavor. It was a 1gz processor, 5mp camera and 8gb storage. But it’s also coming to T-Mobile (US) as these shots from TMoNews show. It’s got 4G and based on the specs you can expect this to be a well priced device. … Read more
This is a first for me. Browsed our site then clicked on our forums and bam! Look at that message (ignore the typo). It launches Marketplace and brings you to Board Express Pro.What’s interesting about that is that Windows Phones are actually following the sites you visit and comparing them to Marketplace. I want to … Read more
Early fall is just days off and it seems like Microsoft is delivering Mangos for the Fall as they said they would. In their latest blog post they note “For months, we and dozens of our partner companies have been laying the groundwork for the Windows Phone 7.5 update—and making solid progress. As a result, … Read more
