Windows Phone 7 – Mango
I updated my Windows Phone to the Mango Beta a week ago. For a beta it appears to be fairly stable and performance is the same as it was before if not better in some areas. Here’s a few quick thoughts:-
I was hoping that Mango would fix an issue with You Tube links, they don’t play, when you click on a you tube link from anywhere in the phone. This is a isn’t acceptable, the experience has to be at least the same as iOS or better, hopefully this issue will be address before mango is finished.
Text to speech just doesn’t work. Hasn’t recognised a single thing I’ve tried saying to the phone, I’m guessing it would work better if I was American.
The Scanning of Microsoft Tag’s works well and so does the listening to Music detection.
You can choose which contacts are displayed in your contacts now, which is welcomed.
Being able to save camera settings is a god send.
I keep getting notified that there is a App update available and yet when I go and do it there isn’t one. - It’s is beta software after all.
I’ll keep updating this post when I come across anything of interest.
