They will be when Mango hits the rollout stage, then once Mango is over and done with we'd have to delete the forum and create a new one for Tango/Apollo, then delete them etc. Might as well keep everything togetherEDIT: should this all be in a mango sub forum? Since mango-related discussion isn't really relevant to most of the wp7 community.
The main thing I always felt was missing in wp7 was a html5 browser and ie9 is just amazing. The whole thing feels so much faster too.
The only thing I've had an issue with is when I went to upload an excel file to skydrive, one of them went fine but the other said 'couldn't upload' and in the status it says 'this type of file can't be uploaded'...odd
I don't like the inability to directly close an app in multitasking, I hope they fix that to be like ie tabs but I'm so glad the 16bit color limitation has been lifted, no longer get banding on things like the wpcentral background. Great job MS, with a few minor tweaks before release this really is going to be the ultimate smartphone os.

may I ask what's the big hubbub over IE9. It's a bit faster, but other than that. I don't see any improvements. It's not like it's added Flash support.
Video chat is what has always kept me on the other phones aka iPhone, Android - I finally ditched the iPhone last Friday and went with a Surround. Knowing that Mango is supposedly will support Video Chat. I am looking forward to it!
I hate to burst your bubble, but the Surround has no front-facing camera. Even when the software supports it, you'll need compatible hardware, which isn't out yet.

The thing is, 3rd party apps are not open. They are "dehydrated", i.e. suspended and closed, with a screenshot taken of where you were when that happened. The long press on back just shows the last 5 or so such screenshots. When selected, those apps are "rehydrated", meaning they are resumed where they left off. "Multitasking" in WP7 Mango is really fast app switching and fast app resume. As such, there is no need to "close" background apps, as nothing is technically open.

I think we spoke about tabbed multi-tasking in the recent WPCentral podcast to look like IE tabs, I still don't understand why there's no "remove-from-multi-task-queue" button already.
