not cool man. not cool...

really cant wait for mango. so many cool stuff being updated for mango.

 

[cdook]

Soon my friend... Soon . I'm hoping the first day of Fall is the day (next Friday).

 

[psychotron]

Actually I think it's very cool. We all know how frustrating it is to get a software update and then have to wait for the apps to be updated as well. This way when we all get Mango most of the apps will already be ready and waiting for us.

 

[TheWeeBear]

Yeah with 234 updates indicated on the Marketplace screen. Can't wait!

 

[Pronk]

Yeah with 234 updates indicated on the Marketplace screen. Can't wait!

234? I hope you're on wifi or that's going to be one long download!

Mango beta here, I can say that there's all to few app updates so far. Especially since I live in Sweden and applied a Swedish Live account, which is a new region that becomes available with the Mango update. Unfortunately developers need to spend 5 minutes to check in the new countries if they want to have it downloadable in the new regions, and I'm guessing about 90% of the developers didn't care about that and some doesn't do it despite several emails begging them to add the region

Definitely. This is key! I'm really excited that the Marketplace will be oozing with Mango goodness by the time we get the update.

I think i might have exaggerated just a tad Pronk, probably more like 231.

Yes Wi-Fi at the ready here.

 

[Umm Yeah]

Actually, I think it sucks right now. After Mango comes out, I'll think it's AWESOME but until then, it sucks. (And if you're looking for logic there, you're looking in the wrong place!)

 

[Reflexx]

I would hope there would be over 10,000 ready when the Mango update is rolled out. And especially the top 1000 apps or so.

Otherwise, people will install their update and think that Mango multitasking sucks when they see that their apps aren't resuming where they left off.

I dont see this app in the marketplace. If I click on the Zune link, I dont have any button to download it.

is this restricted to US only? My live account is for UK.

Well given the additional facts that )2 France omnia 7s sent in for repairs are returning new Omnia 7s with mango, the fact that more and more apps have been and are getting updated to mango I am even more confident that it is coming soon hopefully Friday if not then within the next week two weeks max.

There is only one unsubstantiated report, and it is quite likely false: Blurry pictures aren't proof of Windows Phone 7.5 Mango roll out | MobileTechWorld

And you'll have a pricey 3G bill to boot!

Not if you have unlimited data form those lovely creatures at 3 UK. Woo Hoo! ah say Woo Hoo!

 

[Pronk]

Slightly OT, but do 3 still send loads of spam texts?

I'm up for a change of network in a few months, and good as O2 are otherwise, I get an abysmal signal in my area...

 

[TheWeeBear]

Not to me they don't Pronk, been with them for years and have never recieved any.
(You can opt out of marketing if you wish, but i haven't, and not recieved anything from them)

 

[Big Supes]

I'm currently with O2 and have no plans on moving, but... if another carrier gets Mango out first, that will add large amounts of brownie points. . .
