      Freezing apps in the background is not "multitasking", if I want to freeze any game I am playing I can easily press the pause-button in that game, but in some games I actually want it to continue running in the background for itself while I write an e-mail or..., and if I am watch a streamed flash 10.3 movie in my webbrowser I want to be able to read sms or e-mail while I continue listening to the sound from the movie that is still streaming in my webbrowser in the background!
      WP7 looks really very boring, everything looks the same everywhere, and the design actually makes my eyes hurt and the design makes everything look much more difficult than I hope it is because watching that video made even the simplest task looks very difficult and it probably takes forever to set everything up before it is usable.
      I think maybe older businessmen like this WP7-"design", but for me it looks like the designer was very lazy and without ideas. Nokia really needs to be able to use the Harmattan-skin if Nokia-WP7 will have any chance at all!

            When update for you is not yet available, do the following trick:
            -cancel internet connection on your windows phone
            -klick on Zune settings/phone/update and
            -after 1 to 3 seconds (try whats working best) cancel the internet connection of your PC
            -wait a bit
            -after a while an update shows up
            -connect your PC to internet again and update :)

            When this is not working, try again :)

                What I care most is whether there is a pre-installed Chinese IME in the Mango, as I am locally Chinese.

                    I wonder if it brings flash support. It wasn't in the update list but if there werent flash support in the browser by this update it would be EPIC FAIL.

                        nice software, will bring a change instead of android and iOS.
                        I think people will get tired of these 7 panels with widget in the long term, need something new and microsoft has that.

                        one day 1 panel will do everything, u just tap the main panel...no need to scroll to left and right, or down or up.

                        then in th futur people will be tired of tiles,..
