Windows 7.5 phone - mango - screenshots

All windows phone lovers, be ready with a basket to catch the mangoes. Microsoft is back in the smartphone market to offer mangoes in a basket. Yes, right, Microsoft is back with phones powered by windows 7.5 with a codename 'mango'. Windows 7.5 is an eye-candy OS for smartphones.

Here are some of the screenshots I took from the demo website that Microsoft made available for android and iphone users to test/taste the mango flavor directly on androids and iphones. I took these screenshots on my Motorola Milestone running MIUI android 2.3.7 ROM.

For the first time I am in love with a windows phone. :) Microsoft has worked really hard over this to bring out slim, sleek n a beautiful OS for smart phones.
