Wondering if the OP is asking about viability in terms of OS upgrades. Unlike Android, Windows Phones uses standard hardware components / software. This allows easy upgrades once the carriers have finished... ahem... testing them.

All current Windows Phones will be upgradeable to the next version of the OS, called Mango, which has some major improvements.

The next updates / upgrades after that are called Tango and Apollo. I believe Apollo will be version 8. I don't think Microsoft have announced yet if the WP launch devices (including DVP) will be upgradeable to Apollo. However, you won't be dependent on Dell to release upgrades, as the platform is standardised.
[Venue Pro General] rsx19:
Other than the dvp which other att win7 would you reccomend
[Venue Pro General] magicsquid:
I'd say the following are probably worth considering:

- HTC HD7S

- Samsung Focus

- DVP obviously ;)

Also note that a new batch of Windows Phone hardware will probably be launched around September-ish. Your choice is therefore whether to grab something cheap now or wait for a couple of months to get the next batch of phones - or to get an Android ;-)

If you Google 'windows phone 7 mango handset', you can find some early details on the upcoming devices.
[Venue Pro General] Zurvv:
^^^ that :)

personally i'm looking forward to nokia's searay

but.. if you are looking @ the DVP you are looking for a keyboard - i'd get suggest gettingt he dvp then :) none of the new phone will be this cheap too. (i don't think anything else has a keyboard from the botton either)
[Venue Pro General] rsx19:
I'm personally waiting for the galaxy s 2 since I have the galaxy's right now I love it. But I was always fond of the win 7 ui.

Will the new mango phones have any hardware changes? Or improvements
[Venue Pro General] magicsquid:
Interestingly enough, there is a Samsung Galaxy S 2-like phone coming with WP7 Mango. Looks like Samsung have been listening to you ;) See link below:

http://www.engadget.com/2011/07/12/microsoft-unveils-new-windows-phone-7-handsets-from-samsung-ace/

Nokia Sea Ray is also much anticipated and will probably have an awesome camera - wonder if anyone here knows the expected release date of this. Was supposed to be early 2012 but it's possible it might be sooner.

For Mango hardware, things I've heard of:

- rumour of front-facing cameras.

- gyroscope support.

- expanded SoC support, with a variety of CPU speeds above a minimum of 800MHz. Interestingly, some of the next batch are still rumoured to use a 1GHz CPU (like current models) but I believe they will have a more powerful GPU. WP7 runs very smooth even on current hardware.

If there's anything I've missed, I'm sure someone will fill in the gaps :)
[Venue Pro General] slight22:
Here is the most important question of all.

WHat is theETA for the phones to be released??
[Venue Pro General] Zurvv:
a month or two

thanks for replying and sorry if this was un helpful,thought i could help somehow cause i really wanna unlock my dhd,am dying in the stock :S
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] vagely:
So far, the other 2 Android phones I have had did NOT support this, and it really sucked, and I am hoping that this Inc2 is different, but so far I don't think so.

When I have exchange setup on my phone, and get a notification about a new email, but then read the email in Outlook, the notification never goes away. So far, I have found NO way for this to get fixed other than to use Touchdown (which I will not be doing). How can this really be something Google cannot code into Android? Has anyone figured out ANY way to get this to work like the Gmail notifications?

[Samsung Infuse 4G] cat2115:
Hi, I'm new to Samsung Infuse 4G (AT&T). My phone has not been root yet.

1) Do I need to root my phone in order for me be able to download attachment sent to my email when viewing on Samsung Infuse 4G?

Current i'm in stock and i can't download attachment.

2) Can I tether between Samsung Infuse 4G and Wifi Xoom since I do not have tether plan?

For iPhone4 all i need was jailbreak and then use MyWii to tether b/t iphone and xoom. Can Samsung Infuse 4G do the same.

thanks.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
1) Odd, shouldn't need root for attachments. However, I use GMail, and Android's GMail support and the non-GMail email app are different.

2) Yes, but you need to root and remove tethermanager.apk or install a non-stock ROM. Yes, that's right, REMOVING an app improves functionality, tethermanager.apk serves as a "big brother" app that disables Android's built-in tethering until it sees you have a tethering plan.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] cat2115:
thanks. i was on yahoo email. let me send to my gmail. Also, if i'm rooted, can i use root explorer to uninstall apps i do not want, like TV, mediaHub etc?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] iphone4:
No you should use bloat remover or titanium backup
[Samsung Infuse 4G] marty331:
If you have your yahoo mail routed to your email app, you should be able to download attachments to your sdcard. There should be a little disk drive beside the attachment that you can click to save. Let me know if that does not work on yahoo mail.

I used up this guide to try and root my x10mini

now after some reading I passed afew problems I had while trying to push the files in to my sdcard.

now I got stock when I got to

cd sqlite_stmt_journals

chmod 755 exploid

chmod 755 busybox

Immediately after the next command, you will need to disable and enable the wi-fi using the power widget on the phone:

./exploid

then run:

rootshell

"

when I reached the point where I write ./exploid

it tells me "permission denied.

to note, I were able to push all the files above.

Im pretty stock. and need help! any ideas how to resolve this?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] phoneyericsson:
I got stuck on my stock SE recently and had hell rooting with the newest firmware. After HOURS...I discovered it was an old Busybox file which was the problem. I put in the latest busybox (on my SD or in the rooting program, maybe both) and bam! Rooted!

Try this apk as a last resort. Good luck!

[T-Mobile LG G2x] k00zk0:
I have three days to change my G2x for the Nexus S.

I need to know whether putting ANY custom ROM/root/whatever can fix every single problem with this phone:

Battery life drain

Software bugs

MOST IMPORTANTLY (why doesn't anyone care/notice?!): NOISY HEADPHONE JACK OUTPUT

Is this problem entirely software, or partly hardware? I have such minimal LCD bleed that its not noticeable.

Please chime in and check my thread on noisy output and take my FIVE SECOND test with your modded device to tell all of us whether it is fixed or not.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Bhatch:
nevermind.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrharvey:
Using CM7 + Faux's EXT4 undervolt Kernel + GPS fix pretty much makes this phone perfect for me. I have absolutely no issues at all EXCEPT for screen bleed. That cant really be fixed with software though. Battery life is great. Yesterday I didn't use my phone much but I went OVER 24 hours on one charge. Didn't plug it in once. Woke up this morning and it still had about 15%. Of course I turned off data while I slept though so that probably helped a lot.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] adevilfish:
voodoo takes care of the headphone jack noise. in fact i've never ever experienced music with low of a noise floor below
[T-Mobile LG G2x] k00zk0:
Can you please elaborate and confirm that you noticed the exact same noise as I described (for a second after any sound stops, or during a completely silent track playing?) And voodoo took care of it? So it is software causing the noise and not hardware?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] vmartinez39:
I'm finally at peace with my G2X and it is solid reliable. ****ty battery life but what can you expect.

In my case my phone did have reboots and freeze while charging. I still don't trust having this phone charging overnight because it might crash.

Also went and deleted both Internal/External SD and properly WIPE like 5 times. Flashed CM7 RC1 + Google apps and fixed permissions. I had issues where email syncs failed after 8+ hours but after doing this full clean flush and Wipe, this piece of **** phone finally is reliable.

Its solid and finally enjoying the phone. Just need CM7 out of RC and I'm golden.

However, every time I went to stock I had issues. If you don't plan on Rooting/Flash don't bother with this phone. Its a piece of crap and LG sucks at making ROMS.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] britishtomquin:
I love my phone but I reccimend you get the nexus S. I'm sorry, its just a better phone.

Ps....Please don't ostracise me from this forum lol.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] FatalityBoyZahy:
Software-wise, yes. It's a better phone... Hardware-wise, HELL NO!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] LordButtersI:
CM7 with Trinity kernel gets 24 hours of battery and no reboots from my experience.

youd be a fool to trade for that phone... yes every problem fixed.. no problems for awhile for me... love my phone..
[T-Mobile LG G2x] aowendoff:
I have to agree. The G2x is a million time better then the Nexus S. The Nexus doesn't even do 4G.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] LordButtersI:
The Nexus S is last generation, the only competition for the g2x is the htc sensation and the samsung galaxy s2.

G2x - July baseband/radio, Cm7 Nightlies, Faux OC/uv Kernel, Launcher Pro, Straight Beast Status! No Bugs! Smooth as my ps3 or 360 on gaming... gameloft is making some killer gamez... I love this phone... It's a sense or no sense issue if you ask me... I like both.. My last phone was the htc glacier i gave to my momma, it was a good phone... I wanted a senseless device and im glad i got this one.. not another 6-8 months down the road when the next 1.3+ Ghz batch of phones comes out i might go back to sense, but im completely content where im at right now with the g2x with the games and now netflix... dont get no better.. maybe the sgs2 but that's the most powerful phone in the world as far as buyin out the store... but the sensation.... NO!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jsabas:
I've never had a noise issue with the Jack and I use my g2x like an iPod. Battery life sucks but with Google music its been awesome. I've also been using the leaked gb off LG the only thing with that is now I can't seem to root my phone.

NVfllash cwm and then install or restore rom = root...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] k00zk0:
So after getting CM7 and Faux's OC/UV/etc/Voodoo kernel I still have noise with the sound. Do I need the Voodoo app to enable a different kind of processing or something? I cleared 3x caches/data, installed .zips: CM7 b89, gapps, and Faux [2.6.32.41] (v0.3.4) before restarting.

This makes the sound even more apparent: Go to a silent place and turn the volume on the phone all the way down to vibrate. Put the speaker at the bottom right into your ear and push volume up once. You'll hear the quiet boop tone and a second of very loud hiss before it cuts out. Wait until the sound disappears after two seconds to notice that it was even there in the first place, before pushing the volume button again. It even turns the amp on when you set it to vibrate and there is no tone played. Two new units fresh out of the box have had this same noise. I can't believe users, especially devs don't notice this or see it as irregular, so I must be doing something wrong with Voodoo, and every unit in Canada is the same hardware-faulty. I've got three hours to swap it for the nexus; a primary use for this phone would be monitoring detailed music, and this is an unacceptable level of noise. Please try this and let me know if it's every unit or just every one in Canada, and if the 3 dollar Voodoo app is necessary to fix it!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Jason_V:
I had never noticed the issue before, but when performing your test I hear it. This isn't a precisely calibrated, professional audio-phile level piece of equipment. For most people, this would not be an issue. If it is for you, then this is likely not the device for you.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] millerja01a:
Help her get a phone on par with yours then she'll praise you.

For my wife, she's not a geek but writes nearly everything down to stay organized. She had a Pantech Feature phone. So when my upgrade came, I got a Captivate. She wasn't too impressed until I got Netflix on it then told her that she can search all things Google with it and check her email.

So she says that when her upgrade came up, she'll upgrade to an Infuse, give it to me and switch SIMs with the Captivate and she'll take that. Cappy is running Continuum.

Since then I never hear the end of her praises for the phone and me. She loves Evernote and we share stuff all the time. She barely turns on her PC now(which used to be mine but that's another talk show).

Plus I'm running the Infuse....WIN!!!!!

Until root, the only way I know is factory reset. In settings when you select it, it also has a option for clear storage. You have to select it before it shows.

Edit: you can also try unmounting SD card erase, and then remount the card. Should automatically format.

[HTC EVO 3D] lyric911:
If you bought it new, it came out of the package formatted and ready to use. Just put it in and go, after copying over the stuff from your old card of course.
[HTC EVO 3D] Randy D:
Format or paritition? To format connect phone to usb connect to computer, when the phone screen asks for disc drive or charge only, select disc drive. Your computer will read it as a drive. Hit start menu, scroll up to computer click on it. Should show a couple drives, most likely the phone will be d: g: or f: NOT c: right click the drive scroll down to format and you are done. This is for windows.

Probably should've been posted in the "Q&A and General" section but I'm also curious as to what the difference is.

From what I can tell 7329 is the latest official release of WP7 (NoDo?), while 7401 is the Mango ISV (?) Beta release.

I can't seem to find an official change log but I'm pretty sure one thing they changed was renaming the 'orange' colour scheme to 'mango' :P

Also heard something along the lines of mango bringing hundreds of bugfixes/features/stuff.

[HTC Incredible S] nayak.aj:
It would be easier to backup 'User data ' , re flash the rom you lost data from and restore user data, than to recover some lost data from internal memory unless u have a pre existing backup IMO ...

EDIT: everything you download form the net, take pics from cam etc etc are stored on external memory... ie SD card ... just fyi
[HTC Incredible S] sdxda:
not sure what you mean about user data. I had pics on a memory card I wanted to move to another memory card, so i saved it to internal memory card.
[HTC Incredible S] nayak.aj:
Ic .. okay .. could you specify how exactly u moved it to internal memory and the location ?
[HTC Incredible S] sdxda:
i used ez file explorer with root permission. I moved it to /data or /.data not sure. Then I deleted it thinking I had moved it back to another sd card.
[HTC Incredible S] sdxda:
still looking for an answer to this :/

I see that clockworkmod lets you mount usb storage and you can see it on the pc. it also lets you mount /data..but you can't see it on the PC. Anyone know how I can contact the clokworkmod developer? I want to ask him if its possible to add the functionality i want.
