Windows Phone 7.5 on HTC Surround

If you know smartphones but you’ve never heard of the Windows ^® Phone 7.5 (or more fondly known as the ‘Mango’ lately), then you’re outdated.

Windows ^® Phone 7.5 (codenamed ‘Mango’) is a major software update for Windows Phone, the mobile OS by Microsoft. It started to be released in September 2011 and the first phones preloaded with the OS were released in Q4 of 2011. [source: wikipedia]

Project 366: #11 Windows Phone 7.5 (Mango).

Being the Microsoft Student Partner of MMU Cyberjaya chapter and a blogger, I was given a demo unit of Windows Phone to use and to review. Demo unit means that the phone is only developer-unlocked (yes, I can test Windows Phone apps using this unit) but not SIM-unlocked (Wi-Fi only). So far, I’ve used it for about 2-3 weeks but have yet to sit down and write a proper review (or to put it simply, my thoughts) of the Windows Phone OS.

Nevertheless, I’ll be writing about it next week. :)
