the samsung focus s gets approved by the FCC mango seems to be just a week away and our thoughts on why Windows Phone 7 doesn't make the dual-core League all this and more coming up right now hello everyone I'm hi Mary letter with pocketnow.com and welcome to Windows Phone view the show we wrap up all this week's good and bad inside the world of Microsoft's Windows Phone platform let's start this week off with what's good let's face it mangles probably one of the most anticipated operating systems of the year and while a lot of us really can't wait recently the Windows Phone block came on record to confirm that mango will be released as of next week or probably the next other week kind of bag though is how it will be released we're not sure if carriers actually approved that are not yet so hopefully they did because you know it's going to be really odd and ugly for some of us to get the update on certain carriers or unlock devices and others not now hopefully it'll be sooner or later but we still don't have any written confirmation and how it will happen and while another interesting note is that the phone Windows Phone Blair was actually very specific on the fact that if you're like me and you have Windows Phone 7 mango unofficially on your device you better uninstall it go back to your no do update and then wait for mango when it gets released or you know downgrade whenever mango gets released for you to actually be ready for the mango update as things could actually go wrong and to keep the unofficial version speed of a mango release date the still unknown samsung focus s recently got approved by the FCC and well so far everything points out to a significantly better device then the great focus that we already had it sports a 1.4 gigahertz processor it supports 4g data connectivity and it has this massive 4.3 Super AMOLED display etc the best part is that the device will also make you look really good because apparently it'll keep that samsung galaxy s2 designed with a really thin profile so if you want full specs on what we found on the FCC make sure you hit the post on our website and well hopefully that will be our next device or at least mine out of this week's coverage make sure you watch Adam lanes recent video on a very cool puzzle game called implode and well Adam also wrote this really great article on why Windows Phone 7 doesn't have dual-core processors neither now nor with mango coming out it's really interesting to see that Microsoft did a great job in making windows phone 7 a very efficient operating system and also speedy so you don't really need dual-core processors on a device as long as it works really well so read the article is really good things to learn about and hopefully well if Microsoft chooses to stay on single core as long as the thing works well I don't really care and speaking of Microsoft and software with the recent windows 8 release we've got something really compelling and very metro UI for windows 8 coming up now interesting enough well it does a really good job in working on tablets and you know real laptops and computers but the interesting note here is that we did see some live tiles with the ability to make phone calls so not really sure with Windows Phone or windows 8 and windows phone 8 will bring to the table most likely this is some sort of skype functionality but really cool things coming in it does seem that Microsoft is following the whole metro UI from here on which is actually really cool and aside from that a really cool application that's currently in beta testing privately is whatsapp whatsapp messenger is probably one of the most famous messaging applications out there for iOS and Android to communicate with blackberry users and others and well it's really cool to see that what's happens finally getting to our devices to be honest with you that's going to be the killer app for me so hopefully it's coming out soon and sadly I wish they gave me the opportunity to test it hey guys beta and while the industrial designer Society of America just granted the people's choice award to Windows Phone 7 its team and Microsoft for the really great job they did with bringing the Metro UI to Windows Phone 7 to be honest with you most of us that have been from windows mobile to the past we're not really even waiting for something like Windows Phone 7 and we have to admit that Microsoft did a really good job in allowing everyone with the design and making something that's actually really cool and delightful so a really great prize and along with that there are other two prizes that they've also want or the design so really cool to know about that and well hopefully Microsoft will use that price and all that expertise to bring something even better for the following designs of windows phone seven or eight coming out in the future okay so that doesn't really good let's continue on with what's bad and well sad news for all of you that were after a dell venue pro like the one I enjoy pretty much every day because it seems that well Bell could probably be exiting the Windows Phone platform nothing official yet but sadly in the past you could buy a dell venue pro from the Dell store or AT&T and t-mobile and probably get a subsidy or buy it unlocked but apparently as of now you can only buy it unlock you can't buy it for specific carrier with a subsidy obviously it's actually very cheap unlocked right now it will only cost you about 300 bucks and then actually get the bands for tmobile or AT&T whatever you want but but sad needs to see that dell is actually pulling off services and well let's hope that it doesn't have anything to do with the fact that probably dell could exit the market because let's face it i mean the dell venue pro is probably one of the best windows phone designs out there I could probably want it without the keyboard but still it is cute so well let's just hope that Bell stays in the game as for Mango because well we don't really know if bills actually bringing devices to mango or not haven't really heard anything official yet so let's wait and see let's hope for the best that's it for today she'll thank you very much for watching I'm Hyneman iveta remember to give us a thumbs up if you liked what you saw that's it for now
