The Windows Phone 7 thread

Mango = WP 7.5 (most handsets are at this update level)
Tango = WP7.5 update - apparently rolled out in china, so should be coming to other regions soon enough, this is a minor update, no earth-shattering functionalities are expected to be added.
^^Yes that will help to keep the phone from wear n tear. I have the same phone and it never slips out of my hand. So a case to withstand phone-falls can be avoided IMO.
WiFi hotspot does works with my Omnia W and many other devices.
Most of them are true but a lot of those points are ridiculous. You cannot expect so much from WP7 so early, more so with Symbian which has been around for a decade now.
Guys, the Windows Marketplace is showing zilch(blank) since morning on my Lumia. Also, there is this annoying Airtel bar above and below the browser(IE) since last night. Anyone facing similar issues? Or have i successfully managed to screw-up the ohh-so closed OS.
Lol i have an iphone 4 for that. What i meant was the phone is so good no one believes its price. 3 of my friends already bought it. And the back of this phone is plane ugly not a good phone for showing off (in terms of looks)
One thing I have noticed many people complaining about is the lack of an option to save contact from Call History list; even mentioned in the list above. Simply press on the received no, a new screen opens with a save icon at the bottom.. why don't people research before posting..
Also, everyone has their own parameters for what they expect in a smartphone. I wanted good e-mail support, inbuilt chat of some kind without the need of opening an app and a beautiful, smooth clutter free UI. I got all of these with inbuilt wireless tethering. Of course, I am happy without apps but that is one area where MS can really improve.
As for the damn list, there is a list like this for each and every OS. I'm not defending Win Phone 7.. they do have a long way to go. But the weird part is that people who are comparing and saying that these features were also present in Symbian are most probably not even using a Symbian as their main OS.
