Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesOperating SystemsMicrosoftAT&TWindows Phone 7.5
During AT&T's CES Press conference, Microsoft's CEO Steve Ballmer mentioned that AT&T will be the carrier of the first Windows Phone smartphones taking advantage of 4G LTE network. The first model to become available will be HTC Titan II - the successor of the high-end model will now feature 16-megapixel camera. However, HTC will not be alone. Nokia's CEO Stephen Elop announced that Nokia LTE Windows Phones are also coming to AT&T. He didn't give more details, but they will be available later in the day - Nokia's press event starts at 3pm PST. We expect nothing else than Nokia Lumia 900.

'Smoked by Windows Phone' challenge to transition into an ad campaign
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesOperating SystemsMicrosoftWindows Phone 7Windows Phone 7.5
This certainly shouldn't be a surprise to anyone who saw the news about the challenge before, but it is looking like the $100 challenge that we've seen at CES to beat Windows Phone on speed will likely become an advertising campaign for Microsoft. The challenge itself has reportedly been going quite well for Windows Phone, at last check it had 21 wins and only one loss and one tie, but of course the challenge wasn't exactly a fair fight. It's not that the challenge was rigged exactly, but it was certainly designed so Windows Phone would win, much like any HTML5 "test" that you'll find on Microsoft's IE sites, or a Pepsi challenge (of course Pepsi tastes better than Coke on one sip, but after...

Nokia's CES 2012 press invite confirms Windows Phone device launch
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsMicrosoftNOKIAWindows Phone 7Windows Phone 7.5
Next month thousands of people will convene in Las Vegas, Nevada to attend the 2012 Consumer Electronics Show. If you’ve never been to CES, it’s worth checking out. If you’re a member of the press however, CES is about as terrifying as being diagnosed with testicular cancer. It’s three days of pushing, shoving, running to meetings, networking, drinking, and eating stuff that’s called food, but really it’s just a cocktail of cheap highly processed chemicals. After my fourth or fifth CES I made a promise to myself to never, ever, go there again. It’s honestly that bad. Anyway, why is CES so freaking important in the first place? It’s where nearly every company on the face of the planet announc...

Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsMicrosoftWindows Phone 7.5
During an event in New York City on Monday, Microsoft announced that the popular music service Spotify will launch for Windows Phone 7.5 (Mango) devices sometime during the day. Spotify allows users to stream free ad-supported music from a computer, but access to the service from mobile devices requires a $9.99 monthly subscription option. The monthly fee also gets rid of ads and allows users to store playlists on a mobile device for offline playback. Spotify is already available on Android and iOS, and the service has been very successful in the U.S. since launching this past July.

Mango kills Microsoft's always-on location tracking, makes good on letter to House of Representatives
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsMicrosoftWindows Phone 7.5
Remember all that iPhone tracking hubbub back in April? Sure you do -- you probably also recall Apple's denial, the subsequent Senate hearing, and the rest of the fiasco's dramatic fallout. Amid the ballyhoo, Microsoft stepped out to admit that its Windows Phone also collected location data, but quickly promised to knock it off following the next scheduled update. According to ChevronWP7 collaborator Rafael Rivera, Windows Phone 7.5 cinches it: Mango "no longer sends location data prior to being granted permission to do so." Redmond previously told the US House of Representatives that it only collected location data if a user expressly allowed an application to send it along -- a claim which...

4.3-inch ZTE Tania unveiled, ZTE’s first Windows Phone Mango handset
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesOperating SystemsMicrosoftZTEWindows Phone 7.5
The ZTE Tania (codename) is the first Windows Phone Mango handset by Chinese phone maker ZTE and it’s definitely got some looks, but does it match it with potent hardware? The ZTE Tania, unveiled at China International Communications Exhibition 2011, lies just around the mid-range of WP devices, so it doesn’t go into dual-core territory, but it’s still got some decent-looking specs.
