I got an iPhone

[DesertZUne]

AT&T had cheap iPhone 4 refurbs. What's kind of interesting is that I am a low level gadget geek. When I get a new toy, I have to explore every facet, find out everything it can do. I have downloaded loads of apps, and I'm having fun.

What I haven't done is put one single video or one single tune on it. I adore my Zune HD64. I love the sound, the GUI, the size and weight. I love how it works with the Zune software. No temptation to move everything to the phone (not that it would have the space anyway). Nothing can beat my sexy Zune.

Sounds like you now have the best of both worlds. I don't want to pay any more for phone service, so I will stick with Sprint. I'm not anxious to get an iPhone, though. I will probably end up going with an Android product of some sort.

I'm loving my new Android phone.

I was an iPhone/Zune user for two years. Good times. Currently rocking a Windows Phone. My Zune HD has been borg'ed by my wife. She loves it. The Zune HD experience + streaming the Marketplace everywhere I am = awesome. Any of you thinking of moving on the Windows Phone land?

Yes, I'm thinking of that, too. Depends on how much I'd have to pay for one versus an Android. When the time comes. Like I said, it's about a year away.

It would have been Android for me, except for one thing: Skype. I have a daughter who just started college, and I am going to be going to Chile in about a month. I NEED to be able to call her. Skype works on some Android phones, but not others. And on those it does work on, sometimes it does not work very well. It's flawless on iPhone, and that made the decision for me.

Mom trumps geek.

Being MS just bought Skype, I'd gather the new Windows phones this year will be all skyped up.  At least that's the rumor. From what we've seen so far, it appears the leaked photos of new phones appear to have a front facing camera, and based on what we've heard so far, skype will be baked into the OS just like facebook/twitter/messenger. Should be nice and seamless. Though I'd think the earliest they'd be released would be around October. Many of them will be announced in September. I'm definitely keeping tabs on what Nokia brings to the table next year, I gots me some high expectations.

I don't think DesertZune was going to wait for MS to catch up. She needed it now. I think she made the right choice. For her Skype is a necessity now.

Yep. Normally I would be happy to wait for a device that looked interesting. But, yeah, mom needs skype NOW.

whiteone, can we assume that you are using AT&T? I am 1 year into a 2-year Sprint contract, and will probably stick with Sprint due to the pricing.
What do you think of the Mango upgrade? Notice anything? Likes? Dislikes?

[Brandycat]

Forgive the interruption .........I've not got my Mango upgrade yet, I think it's at the end of this month, but I won't hold my breath.......


has anybody got the (official) release yet??

[charms1955]

So far only developer and any early adopters who purchased the Fujitsu phone here in Japan. Seems odd that would happen like that, but once source indicates that is not the final version of Mango on that device.

Rumor has it dropping today (Sept 15), but rumors be rumors. Personally I think next week. Microsoft always does updates on Tuesdays and the 15th while the anniversary of the HD is not.

Sept 27th (Tues) for AT&T is the official word, other carriers will likely shortly follow.
