Title: Anyone using Win phone Mango?
Post by: Brad on October 07, 2011, 10:48:46 PM
Fess up!  I'm thinking of dumping my Android phone for a Win. Mango phone.  Anyone have one?  How do you like it?

No, but I am also toying with the idea.

A couple of things worry me.

1. Mango was supposed to have over the air updates and they do, for minor updates, however for major updates you still have to tether to Zune software on a PC or some sort of sync software on a Mac.  This leaves Linux users SOL.  I did not like being dependent on iTunes for the iPhone either.

2. The build quality of the Windows phones seems good, but the specs are not cutting edge.  That does not kill the deal but it would be nice to know what, if anything is in the pipeline for Win phones on my carrier.
