WP 7.5 Mango soon available to compatible devices

Windows Phone 7.5 Mango launched a while ago, and a handful of smartphones have found on the market with the new OS. In his blog, Microsoft said the update should be available already, or soon to all compatible devices.

Windows Phone 7.5 Mango is a big boost from the previous Windows Phone 7, and many manufacturers have begun to show great interest in the new OS. In addition to phones with Mango's on the market so the more mature smartphone with Windows Phone 7 get the update, provided they are compatible with the hardware.

Thus, it is "100 percent fit" phones that will receive the update over the world, depending on the phone and the choice of carrier. LG Optimus 7 is a phone to get up as an example, who has just received the new update and it is therefore a lot more going on.

This may still be seen as an advantage of the Microsoft Windows Phone, but also Apple iOS, we can draw an analogy with. Apple has a tough control over their hardware, and Microsoft has been very clear and definite guidelines on how a phone equipped with everything from screen size, resolution to the selection of the system processor. This makes it much easier, more efficient - and thus faster to provide their customers with the latest update of the operating system.

To have an almost closed ecosystem is not always evil.

Other things are for Android-based smartphones, surf boards, where it is not uncommon for consumers to wait several months for the next update. Google recently launched Android 4.0, Ice Cream Sandwich and while many have already launched drives to get this, nothing will happen until early next year. But we must not forget that Google gives its partners the full freedom to do whatever they want with a new product as opposed to Microsoft.
