Windows Phone 7.5 Gets Released; Zune Pass Gets a Discount & More - Windows Phone View

Watch this weeks Windows Phone View as we wrap-up all that's good and bad inside the world of Microsoft's Windows Phone platform. In today's show Microsoft finally releases Windows Phone 7.5, previously known as Mango, to the masses. We talk about who gets the upgrade and also how to get it. We go through the recent great changes coming to Microsoft's Zune Pass and why it matters to you. We browse through all the recent Windows Phone releases, which include a much-desired Samsung Omnia W. And we end the Good section with all the rumors we've caught recently, which include our leaked images of the much-expected Samsung Focus S.

In the bad section we talk about Internet Sharing on Windows Phones, who's getting it, who's not, and the excuses why. We also talk about Microsoft dropping the bar in the minimum hardware requirement for Windows Phones and why this is bad news to everyone.

All this and more after the break.

These are great videos. I'm an iOS man, but it's still good to keep updated on all the good and bad stuff in all major OS'.

the Rise of WP7 has begun :P

@killerstick1 I have the mozart and it's a decent phone. Reason I got it was because I <3 WP7 but I didn't have much money to spend on one. Mozart is cheap on Orange if you go in store and get a good deal.

Lowering specs isn't a bad new per se, devices will probably be supported longer, and since the WP7 is well optimized I can see people with current phones getting both Tango and WP8.
