Devices: Upcoming and Updated
Upcoming Windows Phone 7.5 Devices
Till now, two devices have been announced ahead of the Windows Phone 7.5 update, which will have the Mango firmware preloaded within. HTC was the first to announce the HTC Radar, which will be available sometime in October for S$569. Though announced simultaneously with the HTC Radar, the larger HTC Titan with a 4.7-inch display won't be available in Singapore.

Following up, Samsung also unveiled the Samsung Omnia W, with a boosted 1.4GHz processor and faster download speed of 14.4Mbps for its HSDPA connectivity. While it does get a speed bump through its single-core processor, the Omnia W will take on a more compact form factor with its smaller 3.7-inch Super AMOLED display, shaving 0.3-inches off its predcessor's 4-inch specification. However, here's what really sealed the deal: the Samsung Omnia W will be priced at S$498, which is nearly half of what its predecessor cost during its initial launch. Unfortunately, its availability will be slated for Q4 2011, so it'll be a while more before you can find this reasonably priced Windows Phone 7.5 device on the retail shelves.

Updated Windows Phone Devices
True to its word, Microsoft will be updating its earlier devices with the Mango firmware, and if you're one of the early adopters who chose either the LG, Samsung or HTC devices, you'll be receiving the update notification in the following weeks. Word of advice: when you are prompted to update, you might want to tap onto a Wi-Fi network before you proceed with the download. Alternatively, you can connect your Windows Phone device to your PC and download the Windows Phone 7.5 update through Zune.
