TWO NEW MANGO HANDSETS FOR HTC

The Asian manufacturer HTC has launched two new SmartPhones which are thought to be the first to run Mango, Microsoft’s latest WP7 platform. The devices are called Radar and Titan. The two handsets were announced in Berlin, London, Paris and Madrid where HTC held a series of what it called consumer meet-ups. Despite problems selling previous WP7 handsets, Microsoft believes they are onto to a winner with this particular update. Many in the mobile phone world agree, although it will probably be another 12 months before this theory is fully tested. In the meantime, what are the specifications of these two new gadgets? Both SmartPhones will apparently feature improved cameras and the ability to shoot video. The Titan is said to feature a 4.7 inch display surrounded by a 9.9mm aluminium case, while the Radar is thought to possess a slightly smaller screen size at 3.8 inches. Titan and Radar should be available from October this year. Other than this information, nothing else is known at this stage. What is different with Mango? Apparently one of the main differences between this update and previous versions is improved functionality with regards to social network sites such as Facebook and Twitter. But perhaps more importantly is improved access to Microsoft Office, and the ability for it to handle multiple email accounts; which will delight those users who like to use their SmartPhone as a kind of mini office. Handling multiple emails though is not new to the SmartPhone world since it is actually one of the hallmarks of the BlackBerry. Other improved features of Mango include a faster searching and browsing experience.
