Nope... not during the presentation. They only showed off the new XBox hub and seemed to skim over that fairly quickly after showing off avatar animations and some of the other features they've migrated from the Extras app. I'm hoping that they are saving multiplayer for an E3 announcement in a couple of weeks, as they said that more info about Mango features would be showing up soon. Not entirely sure what we really need other than sockets support for decent gaming on the platform, though I suppose party-forming using XBox live would be nice.

Cheers.
[Windows Phone 7 General] brian leach:
I accept that I am probably not a typical user but I find Mango deeply depressing.

It seems to be getting even further away from a useful business tool than it is already and aimed at the individual gaming and social network market.

As others have mentioned no sign of stand alone Outlook sync and no file explorer.

The calendar is not to my liking on many counts and integrating the various social network aspects is going to make it worse. The old calendar plus under windows mobile was for me far and away more useable and certainly more interesting to look at than the boring grey version we have here.

Again I don't like the huge tiles which aren't as stylish as the iphone or android ones but I suppose if more info is going to be shown on them that is a plus.

Final rant. Who thought the search function of the apps was a good idea. Surely making more visible on the screen at one time would have been more sensible. But what do I know.

Perhaps I'm not just a smartphone user.

[Windows Phone 7 General] RoboDad:
There is nothing wrong with not liking WP7 (or WP7.5). There are some very good alternatives out there for people who want different features, or different implementations of similar features.

Rather than getting deeply depressed and ranting about it, it would be better to accept that it is what it is, design-wise. If you want a file explorer and standalone syncing, you should probably be looking at an Android, not a Windows Phone. And I expect that, given the relative maturity of Android, there are several good calendar choices that will do most, if not all, of what you want.

Personally, while I was initially surprised by the different paradigm of WP7, I found the transition much less painful than I expected, and the more I use my Focus, the more I appreciate it for the great tool that it is. And, FWIW, the better I get at using the phone, the more people I find asking questions about it when they see me using it. And I only anticipate it getting much better with Mango.

HTML5 is what we have now as well thanks to iOS. Many website's including porn sites have already setup their site to use HTML5. Click on the video on the website and it will play the video in full screen and once it's finished playing, back to the main page. No need of leaving the browser then opening the app. Flash on android is crap anyways. slows the browser down and drains the battery.
[Windows Phone 7 General] doministry:
Nope. Flash on Android is super smooth and doesn't slow anything down, that's the thing. Why spreading wrong info?
[Windows Phone 7 General] Knochen1981:
Sorry but you shouldnt spread the wrong info. The first device that runs flash super smooth is the galaxy s2.

Even the Desire HD stutter and crashes and it has way better Hardware than all wp7 devices.

So its the Device hardware that decides if it runs super smooth not android.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mwlkZpQ5oJw&feature=related

at min 33:40 it shows clearly that flash slows down the internet experience on Android (every device since dual core).

With the current Hardware specs of WP7 our Internet experience would get slowed down too much.

Maybe next gen Hardware (if dual core is nexgen) we can think about flash.

Right now MS should better stay away from flash.
[Windows Phone 7 General] doministry:
Well you are still wrong.

I own single core device which runs Flash without a problem. None.

Besides that discussing having a feature versus proving it's better not to have one is pointless. I gues some people are obsessed with "fluidity" here.

If you prefer handicapped device and white spots that's fine with me. Pity MS thinks similar.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Knochen1981:
Show a video of the smoothness of your phone.

i have linked too a video wich shows that it can slow down the internet experience. it can happen so flash is not smooth. smooth means alltime even when playing full hd flash videos. its flash so no difference to me.

Start an youtube video at least 720p and pinch to zoom while playing.

There will be stuttering or it crashes even on the nexus one my brother has it crashes from time to time and stutters a lot when playing 720p.

Its technical impossible on a single core device to run flash smooth all the time.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCKxtvFlJf8&feature=related

or

http://gigaom.com/video/video-flash-on-android-is-startlingly-bad/

Some other Videos shows that its stutters a lot. Sorry but thats not smooth for me. and in that vid he doesnt even pinch to zoom.

I want smoothness alltime and the galaxy s2 does the job really good. its the first android device that felt smooth for me in case of flash (although not 100%).

So please stop spreading infos until you show us the supersmooth ecperience on your single core phone.

Right now even the option to have flash is pity thinkin. Cause MS will have to do the support for millions of customers that will have issues with flash or crashing or stuttering or even complaining about the performance of flash.

So MS should stay away until its 100% smooth.
[Windows Phone 7 General] doministry:
WP7 is not super smooth sometimes itself so what are you talking about.

The experience on Android is great, sorry. You can make everything stutter, even homescreen.

I watch videos everyday on the browser and everything is smooth.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Knochen1981:
Yes you are right.

The only thing that isnt always supersmooth is the browser while loading and some 3rd party apps.

All 3rd party apps that stutter or hang while scrolling have gone straight into the garbage.

The os itself is smooth as hell doesnt even has a single stutter while swiping or pinch to zoom.

BTW we are talkin bout the browsing not the os.

if customers want (choppy and buggy) flash they should stick with android.

As for your Option thing.

On my old single core P4 3GHZ and 7800 GT (Android Phone Single core of your choice) i have the Option to play Crysis in full details (flash vid in 720p) but it stutters and lags as hell that it would crash or even overheat my pc. So it would be better for me as a casual to not have the Option to play Crysis.

I hope MS holds this line of business like Apple.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
^ stop the bullocks. Nothing on earth plays 720p and pinch to zoom in browser, all on a single core 1ghz processor. You can't blame Microsoft, Android, Apple, developers, or OEMs.

What a ridiculous statement. 320p or whatever the number is, is flawless and is what it defaults to if you are using mobile data. So stop the bull****. Damn, you want to multi task, and play HD content? On a single core, 1ghz device? You can't be serious.

Back on topic please.
[Windows Phone 7 General] havox22:
I didnt watch your videos, but who pinches to zoom on a phone when watching videos? Also If its done right on wp7 then it doesnt matter how great or bad it is on android

Honestly tho once I got flash on my epic it didnt really change anything for me it wasnt bad like some to make it out but it wasnt smooth either, but I could care less now that I have my arrive, but the argument that flash waste battery is a bad one since games do also. As long as they provide a way to turn off flash then i cant see how adding it would be a bad thing since it will make a lot of peoples browsing experience better. If they add it hooray if they dont then no biggie, but I dont like how they originally said they arent against having flash, but now they make it seem like its a bad and they dont wont to add it.

options are great even if im not gonna use it, Im sure one day im gonna be browsing a site and wish I had flash
[Windows Phone 7 General] iEatRappers:
So there no intergrated AIM... -_-
[Windows Phone 7 General] powersquad:
because it's true. flash on android is crap. the default browser on android is crap. android's pinch to zoom is crap and showing checkboards on the screen while scrolling is crap. infact android is crap. which latest smartphone OS get's it's own marketplace filled up with viruses and trojans and has to force remove it from 300,000 customers handsets remotely? yep, it's android alone.

why are you even here? we know you like trolling and blind android fanboy, so go in android forums and hug android over there.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Dj21o:
Flash on Android is not very good, and I'm not sure if processor speed has anything to do with it, but my Epic was way smoother than my Evo.

And I can personally give less than two ****s of how many apps are for Android. At least WP7 has quality and not quantity. I would rather pay the .99 cents to a good cause, rather than have a crap-app.

WP7 is looking better every single damn day. Screw Android. Its too bad HTC doesn't have WP7 on the hardware, because it would make a killing (seeing as it takes less to run all of WP7 than a couple apps on Android).
[Windows Phone 7 General] doministry:
Well I'm here for similar reasons as you. And owning WP7 device I watch and experience how MS fails in many areas. What is worse fanboys here support it.

Saying current IE is better than Android one shows that whatever you say is just a fantasy.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Dj21o:
Have you not seen the updates in Mango? Over 500 new features. Pretty sure Google never put out an update like that, let alone in the time period Microsoft has. Give them time, it will catch up to, if not pass Android.

You are the one supporting the same bull**** Google supposedly has provided with us, and if it was so good, nobody would be complaining. Google is continuing to stay with the same apps, which is why everyone has the same problems on every device.

Microsoft is changing the game up completely in the mobile OS world. Just saying.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Dj21o:
Oh, and they did do a speed test on all of the devices side by side in the browsers. They used android, WP7, iPhone, and blackberry. All using wifi on the same network, and windows loaded it up much faster than the other phones.

Well I didn't see this posted anywhere else but I just got a text message from Verizon saying I get another month of hotbot free. Here is a copy of the text.

FREE VZW MSG: The Mobile Hotspot/Mobile Broadband Connect promotion for your Smartphone has been extended to 6/15/2011. Share your internet access with up to 8 Wi-Fi capable devices or with your notebook or netbook. After the promotion expires, additional access charges will apply.

this could be a case of moron-employee, but a rep I talked to today at a store in Thousand Oaks (Cali.) told me they had no plans to charge for wi-fi hotspot use provided you already had unlimited data.
[Thunderbolt General] mike.s:
I suspect it will be free until they have tiered data pricing in place. Because it's free, you can't sign up for it. After tiered data is in place, when you sign up, you're not grandfathered, so that means a contract change along with tiered pricing.

Net/net, there will be no way to grandfather unlimited data along with tethering on the TB.

[Thunderbolt General] Jaytronics:
This may sound a bit on the paranoid side. But, did any one ever think that maybe VZW was letting us have free hot spot feature to see how much DATA we would actually incure on our individual lines? Verizon has a way of finding out how much DATA is being passed through there tather app. That will give them an idea of who is using the after market teather app when there hotspot feature goes to a teared price plann. They know that some will go back to the teather app. And they will be able to make a pretty good educated guess as to whoo is using what. And please, don't tell me that they wouldn't do that. This is a corporation that is out to make money. And we have all the technology that is needed to acquire any info that is desired. And there is nothing wrong with that. But, they think it is OK to charge us for data passing through our phones to any other device other than the phone. When truly, we can download anything we want to the phone and then pass it to a device of our choice either through WiFi or USB. They are merely trying to charge us for convenience. I don't ever use more DATA when teathered to an external device than I could or do when I am on my phone. This charging for DATA tunneling is ridiculous. And has to stop. These a$$ hat clowns have to stop charging for anything they like. What hell! There prices are above and beyond ok. 5 gigs for $50 and so on? Yeah, that's totally reasonable!

One other thing. I don't particularly want to hear some snub nosed douch tell me if I don't like the prices that I can go somewhere else for a cell provider. Yeah, that would be great if 1, VZW didn't purchase Alltel. Or 2, ATT didn't purchase T Mobile. Not that I would move to a GSM carrier. And I kind of need the coverage that aCDMA company can provide. Yes, I know the saying, you pay higher prices for better service. And don't get me wrong. I am grateful to have these technologies available to us. But, the prices have to come down a bit. Any way, I am done *****ing an wearing my tin foil hat. Good evening every one.
[Thunderbolt General] mike.s:
If you don't like the data (what do you use DATA as an acrynym for?) pricing, you can cancel the service. No one is forcing it on you.
[Thunderbolt General] l7777:
That's not a solution either. While I completely agree with the poster your replying to, I'm not sure there is much we as consumers can do about it.

The rest of the consumers who simply use their phones to broadcast their location to everyone on facebook and twitter or check their e-mail will never know that they are being ripped off.
[Thunderbolt General] vegasjones:
Well unfortunately if Verizon does put me on tiered pricing for data I actually would change carriers. The main reason I came to Verizon was for their service. I don't tether that often, but I like to have the option without having to worry about extra fees but I use the data on my phone A LOT. I honestly doubt they will, but if Verizon does force everyone onto tiered pricing, well, at that point I might as well be with Cricket because all I'll be using is the phone.
[Thunderbolt General] EDD Skitz:
I would like to be honest, so given a reasonable price I would buy the tether service, but still use my wired tether app because they wont support wired teather themselves....

The CSR did however tell me that supposedly you will only be charged for what the tether app itself uses and that regular phone data would not count...
