Mango

Nokia's much-vaunted partnership with Microsoft for Windows Phone 7 handsets is finally coming to fruition, with specifications for the devices being liberally plastered across the internet.

It's been a long wait, but Microsoft's Windows Phone 7.5 update has finally come to fruition, with the company rolling the update out to handsets from today.

HTC's first Windows Phone Mango running handset, the HTC Radar, has made its hands on debut thanks to an Algerian hoping to flog the pre-release handset on an online classifieds site.

The next Windows Phone update, dubbed 'Tango', could be intended only for cheaper, low-end Nokia-made handsets.

Microsoft has made its third big Windows Phone Mango announcement of the last 24 hours by releasing a "more complete" build of the operating system to assist app developers.

Opinion It was less than 18 months ago we got the first look at the new Windows Phone design, but is Microsoft is doing enough to really become a front running mobile OS provider?

The rest of LG's 2011 smartphone line up has been leaked to a tech site, complete with renders of each of the seven Android handsets.

Details of an upcoming LG Windows Phone 7 handset have emerged, with a tantalising hint that the LG E700 could be the first Mango handset to be released.
