My roommate cusses about his Android toting Galaxy S2 each day but I love my Quantum C900 with Mango….. Each app looks like its been made for WP7…. The experience just flows…. An app is not like a separate entity.. It is one with the Metro UI

GUI improvements are cool but features improvement will definitely impress people.
I like the feature where all communication form (calls, SMSes, emails) are visible on the ‘History’ page in the People hub. Too many features to highlight here.

This site is good enough for news but for reviews and opinions like this, it pretty much SUCK.

They actually hired this moron and made him put a review? The whole thing is unorganized, lame, boring, and uninformative I got lost after a minute into it.
Darn bloggers can’t even put on an EFFORT…

Allow the software to tell you whether an update is available. If so, skip this guide. If not continue to the next step.Click the update button again, and this time immediately disconnect your computer from the internet (some people have better luck waiting 1-2 seconds). Do this by pulling the Ethernet cable, disabling Wi-Fi and ensuring there is no Internet connection.After around 30 seconds or so you should receive a notification that an update is available. This is 7392, a post-NoDo security update.Connect your machine back to the internet and continue with the update process through the Zune clientAfter 7392 is fully installed, you may receive a notification that another update is available. If so, install Mango now. If not, proceed to the next step.If the second update isn’t popping up on its own, repeat steps 3-5, causing the 7403 update to appear.Install 7403After 7403 is installed, Zune should automatically start installing 7720, Mango. If it doesn’t happen automatically, force it using steps 3-5 once againWindows Phone 7.5 “Mango” installed
