Ok here it goes again ... I will be here all day. But you cannot not appreciate a good job!

Will this update finally let you use your own ring tones?

 

edit: I just read the article, and no

[edinlexusV8]

Yes, with Mango you can add custom ringtones. There is no option in the settings but you can get an MP3 on the phone and it gets added to the list of ringtones. Then you can set it as your ringtone.

So there's either no option, or there is? Which is it?

 

And lets face it, there's not really "500 new features" is there? 500 improvements maybe. I'll reserve judgement until Angela's phone gets the update, but it needs to be a massive improvement over Nodo.

Most of the websites are stating 500+ features. I can see 50 and odd features alone for facebook and social networking integration, email and calendaring. Obviously some of the features will be improvements over the existing functionality.

Speaking of phones, Nokia's N9 looks interesting, I thought they were ditching Meego all together.

Yeah that Nokia is just Sexy. I am hoping Nokia to bring our some similar hardware to the market with WP7.1

 

Btw Meego os seems to be pretty slick and very functional!

Not all windows stuff. Some of the windows stuff makes me puke. I would not talk much about Windows Mobile as it is not very user friendly and MS did not support it well. But windows phone 7 is a revolution. It is not about apps anymore (tbh I am sick of looking at grids of icons anyway) iOS devices, Symbian, Meego & Sammy's Andriod devices just look the same with lots of screens of icons for apps everywhere. Though a bit behind with features WP7 is a breath of fresh air.
