Nokia Windows Phone Leaks? Windows Phone 7 Tango Rumors & More - Windows Phone View

2011-08-11
leaks of the problem nokia windows function on video rumors on the Windows Phone tango up they begin to appear and why can't mango update old office documents all this and more coming up right now have over when I'm high meadow be better with talking I'll calm and welcome to the Windows Phone view the show we talk about all the things good and bad inside the world of microsoft's windows form platform let's start this week off with a good alright so we'll start off with what's got everybody crazy lately and it's these videos of nokia windows phones coming up around and even images now it's interesting about all these designs is that it they look look credible they look look like nokia material but then again some of us believe that they are fake why don't we think they're fake ball because the video was going well everything was nice everything was credible but then at the end they had this microsoft's vision of the future for 20 19 videos that came up years ago on youtube and you'd wonder why did they add these videos i mean these platform videos have nothing to do with nokia windows phone videos so again the designs are gorgeous we do expect that nokia at least hires the guys are designed these phones but sadly we do think they're fake if they are not fake and hopefully I'm wrong than yes we do have some really good phones coming up in the future hopefully we do see really good things on our cat 17 but we have this nokia windows event that's being planned okay so wait a second Windows Phone 7 mango isn't out on the streets yet and already we're hearing about this Windows Phone 7 tango or should we say Windows Phone tango we're not really sure if it's going to be a 7 after that but it does seem that Microsoft loves things that are exotic not necessarily fruits for these names because we got mango and now we got tango but we're going to cut that argument off because the next generation OS is going to be called Apollo whoever comes up with these names but anyways they're already rumors of a windows phone 7 tango in the mix and it seems that it has a lot to do with making the OS friendlier for cheaper hardware now you'd wonder why but remember Nokia's king of feature phones and there are room or confirmation should I say the nokias bring out all their Symbian phones from the US market because they're going to focus on Windows phones now obviously they're not only going to offer Windows Phone 7 devices because they're obviously not affordable to the whole market so it's interesting to see what Nokia will bring to the table with tango probably some cheaper Hardware cheaper phones probably a different UI something different elements but still Nokia hardware with Windows Phone hardware software I mean interesting okay so i must admit many of us were disappointed with motorola when they confirmed that they were not going to be supporting when those phones on the initial release though we gotta admit that Motorola's doing a great job in putting android on the map with their droid lineup now imagine that droid hardware with some Metro UI must seem fantastic so it seems interesting that their CEO just came on record recently mentioning that they are actually open to adopting Windows Phone as long as Microsoft could cut them a deal that's different to what's negotiated with Nokia not really sure what they mean by that difference but still it's interesting to see that Motorola's open so Microsoft's really in need of putting the platforms in the pockets of everybody so most likely they will come up with some sort of agreement and let's hope it's beneficial for everybody because yeah I would live with I would like some motorola hardware with some windows phone Metro UI okay so after we reported some bad news about skype not making it to Windows Phone 7 and having no probable release dates rumors have it that as of mango skype will bring some really deep integration with Windows Phone 7 interesting though is it's not included in beta 2 yet so we're not sure if it'll make it to mangalore probably some other release afterwards but it seems that the integration will be superior to what we're already a custom in android and that's kind of a tall order because currently android offers this really good integration with Gingerbread where you can actually choose whether you want to call from the land from the phone line or from skype so really interesting to see what they'll come up with let's hope it doesn't only have to do with integration with the OS or chats and stuff like that or phone calls but also probably bring something as more cheap calls that what we're currently paying on you know phone lines probably some really good deals for windows phone 7 owners I know that'll be a massive hit okay so that does it for the good let's start off with what's bad sad news has it that Windows Phone 7 mango won't be supporting editing of Office documents that are earlier than office 2007 meaning of your files bill men with xls X doc X or pptx you pretty much will only be able to view the files and not edit them if you ask us it makes all the sense in the world for Microsoft that go off with the old and start off with the new obviously they're a software company that's after selling more copies of their office 2010 but still you know a lot of you will be affected by this change so it's important for you to know that you have to put these documents to a new version if you want them to be supported unless you only want to view them and think about it I mean these office documents that our previous to 2007 are actually larger files than the current ones so on a office phone you know on a smartphone where your storage is really limited it's actually a smart move to actually change but still not good okay so if you all remember one of the darkest hours of Microsoft with their initial Windows Phone 7 release was that the platform had issues in logging on to yahoo servers customers were complaining of these crazy data plan usage fees because of obviously not many of us have unlimited data plans anymore and current mango beta testers are having the same issue not necessarily with Yahoo but it does seem that they are having issues with the phone coming up with some crazy data usages not really sure what to make of it yet because it's still a beta so Microsoft still has time to fix this problem though it's a word of warning if you're using the data to look out for your data plan usages probably just look out for them because probably you could come up with some surprises obviously we do hope that Microsoft deals with it in time for the official release that's it for today's show thank you very much for watching I'm high middle you better remember to give us a thumbs up if you liked what you saw that's it for now you
