WinPho 7.5 captured in action

Mango movie shakedown

The world's first Windows Phone 7.5 has been outed in a fresh video showing a Toshiba-Fujitsu IS12T handset. The OS, better known as Mango, gets a show off its new tricks in this three minute movie.

A couple of days ago, we reported how the IS12T phone would hit Japan this September, with this demo signalling that Mango is on course for its anticipated arrival around the same time.

We've seen glimpses of it already in leaked Nokia videos, but here it is again in greater depth featuring Microsoft's 'release to manufacturer' build. While the text on the phone is in Japanese, the commentary is English which, along with the fairly easily identifiable app icons and tasks, gives a pretty good run-through of the system. ®

Apps?

Funny, my Winphone isn't lacking any apps I want / need. I hear there's nearly 30,000 and I'm using about 50.

Well...

If your winpho locks up, take it back to the shop and exchange it. Mine has never locked up.

Colour me interested

Getting fairly hacked off with my Android handset today - twice the phone has rung but the unlock screen was unresponsive to swipes causing me to miss an important call.

I've been put off WinPho7 only by the lacklustre hardware, but I shall be paying close attention to this new tranche of hardware (particularly Nokia's).

The last resort of a troll or a hateboy eh? Just accuse everyone who doesn't hold your position of being employed by the company you don't like.

Very much like conspiracy theorists - if you don't believe their conspiracy, you must be in on that conspiracy.
