Thread: Windows Phone "Mango" Devices

Hello everyone, This thread will be a collection of Windows Phone devices that have been released since the launch of Mango, and thus have been shipped with it already installed. Windows Phone Mango was the first major platform upgrade for WP7. For information on RTM/NoDo devices, see this thread here. Off the back, you should know that all Windows Phone devices run on Qualcomm processors by Snapdragon. None of the current Windows Phone models are dual-core. Micosoft's reasoning for this is that the operating system does not need two cores. The base hardware requirements for an OEM considering Windows Phone are as follows:

• Multi-touch capable WVGA screen with 480x800 resolution
• ARM7 Qualcomm processor (at least 1 GHZ)
• DirectX 9 rendering-capable GPU
• 256 MB of RAM
• At least 8 GB of flash storage
• Accelerometer with compass, ambient light sensor, proximity sensor, Assisted GPS, and Gyroscope
• 5 MP camera with LED flash and optional front facing camera
• FM radio
• The 6 hardware buttons: back, Start, search, volume, two-stage camera and power/sleep

If you consider the above information, and then that most OEM's will pack in a little more than that, you've already got yourself a smartphone better than most Android handsets. Of course, WP devices are still no competitors to "super phones". Please note that in North America, HSDPA+ speeds are considered baseline 4G by most carriers. In other areas, these speeds are considered 3G+ or 3.5G.So here's the list, detailed with specifications.
