Can't wait until late summer when this is released to the public!

But can I save my camera settings?

They haven't released any info on that yet. Maybe on the 24th they will say something.

Greg2k · May 18, 2011

It's lists like these that remind me how awesome this release is going to be. Every little feature is very welcome. Can't wait!

Finally starting to look like a smartphone. I can't wait to get my hands on it.

Mestiphal · May 18, 2011

this is a great great post, can we make it a sticky so dotcompt can update as new info comes along?

All these 'feature' enhancements are useless if you cant keep your phone switched on for more than 8 hours.. I leave my home in morning at 10 AM fully charged and by time its 4PM my battery looses all its candles and by the time I get back home at like 6PM it starts giving me 'Critical battery level' warning.. and all this when I dont even use WIFI or listen to music.. just use it to store appointments check email and market rates and read news and check weather updates.. over 3G.. all day long I am always praying god, plz dont switch off my phone.. coz once it switches off its a pain in ass to charge it back again to the retstart level.. even once it reaches restart level I cant use my phone for next 30 mins and just let it sit and charge.. if I try to even send a text it immidiately switches off and another long wait follows..

With all these new feature and flipping of live tiles and multi-tasking which will be using some sort of cache to store your recently used applications, push notifications for third party apps, I am worried it might drain down my battery more..

These feature are great and wonderful.. their have been no other phone which has been as smart as this one in human history, but the 'Battery Enhancement' feature is most critical for me.

Or atleast in future release some new WP7 devices with greater battery capacity.. I would be more than willing to sell my Omnia for any new WP7 that comes out with a greater 'lithium?' capacity..

And BTW when was the last time we saw a new WP7 device coming to the market from manufacturers?? 6-8 months back.. that ASUS phone have been floating around since forever. I dont know when the heck will they release that phone in market.

FiyaFleye · May 18, 2011

Smartphones and chargers go together these days. You'll rarely find anybody, including many businessmen, who don't have a charger available everywhere they go. Especially considering the size of a lot of these WP7 screens, the battery is exceptional. I use the phone non-stop. I'm a Twitter addict, I use well over 13,000 texts a month, I make calls, etc and my battery lasts me the entire day. On days I use Netflix or constantly stream music I need to charge it on the go obviously, but other than that, it's fine. And I have the biggest screen of them all.

Also, about the camera settings... I really hope "saving" them is optional, because I actually agree with Microsoft and this whole reverting back to default stance. I don't want to open up the camera and have to disable a filter that I set the previous use... I really don't.

If battery life is that big of an issue for you, buy a charger for work as well as a spare battery for travel.

I have two batteries for my Focus, so if I'm traveling on a long trip and blow out one battery I can just pop another in. Also I have the option to charge it at work when needed

I use European phone in US, even though Expansys did sent me a plug to convert the charger but my wall charger dosent charge my phone at all.. thats why they gave me a free car charger as a note of 'apologises'... i dont drive so I dont know if that car charger works or not..

As for the USB cable of my Omnia I can see how small it is built so that i can carry it with me all the time.. but the thing is USB cable too dosent really charges your phone and just perhaps keep it away from discharging more power... the only time USB cable charges your phone is when you have zune running and cable hooked in.. someone can test this.. because sometimes at night when I plugged in my USB and hibernated my laptop in morning I wake up to see the same or less battery level, but not fully charged or more than when I left it in plugged.. when I leave my laptop running with zune running it fully charges in 8 hour or so..

I am not sure if its like that for others, but my battery level dosent rise if I plug in the USB to a computer without zune or to a comp with zune but in hibernate mode..

I've heard that from a few people, I personally I have never charged any phone through a USB port... Just don't like to, so I can't really give you my input. But, if your phone is dying that fast with as minimal usage as you say, maybe something else is up, because a lot of users have actually praised the battery life. I'm also fortunate that I have chargers everywhere I go, your situation is a bit more complicated though.

Can this discussion be taken to a more appropriate thread? It's an important topic, but it doesn't really have anything to do with the discussion of upcoming Mango features.

I think your phone is borked. My Focus had great battery life, and my HTC Arrive will go two days with emails checking every 15, both data/wifi, tons of internet, some music, and gaming, etc.

The problem is data connection. If i disable it, i can use my phone for 3-4 days without recharging.
And you can recharge phone trough USB (no Zune), but it takes long time.
WM6-6.5 disconnect data connection if not in use, don`t know why can`t they make it like thad.

15 posts in and we're at battery life already? Battery life is fine. Omnia hits battery far harder than any of the HTCs I've used but I can use my pro 7 at work all day taking calls, go out running for 1.5hrs that night with endomondo running and listening to music and it will still last me through the morning. My HD2 would have kerploded.

as for the little title at the top of this page - I cannot wait. APIs are gonna be huge and I can't wait to see the different apps created as a result. IE will be a massive boost too with HTML5 support.

Do you like your 7 pro? I have an Evo, but that is the only sprint WP7 available (as you know) right now.. My upgrade is coming up in August, and idk if I should hold out for a different WP7 (mango ready).

Sorry op, I know I am off topic, but I want some good information on the phone.

Wont happen again.

I had an Evo...still kinda have it in my possession (gave it to my mom) and now i have the Arrive. Its pretty insane. Battery life is much better...and the feel. WP7 just has that feel too it...the screen seems silky smooth...so responsive. The keyboard is pretty insane too, nice thing to use in the sunlight. Smaller screen but going from the Evo to the Arrive...you'll type so fast on the Arrive it'd be ridiculous.

But by the time its August hopefully there will be newer phones...whether or not those phones will have better specs on Sprint...i'm not sure. I'm still kinda new to this whole WP7 thing. Thats why I love this thread...everyone said Mango would be huge but I just had no idea...

I see in one video, that in mango you can search one app of your app list with a "search button".
They includen a organizacion based in alfabethical name with leters (like contacts hub).
This is a BAD method (for me) because with a large list of aplication you dont remember the name of aplication. In other cases the name is not intuitive (example: flory for gtalk cliente).

The posibility of create forlders (or cathegories) will be better than this "order" method.

I cand belive that microsoft don´t think on it!

doministry · May 18, 2011

As probably this Mango will not introduce any kind of file explorer
And probably no Bluetooth transfer of files,

What do we know about:
* Multiple docs send in one email (instead of idiotic one doc per email)
* Docs transfer by Zune
* Outlook desktop sync?

As time goes by and Mango so close Android & iOS are getting boring every single day
