Windows Phone “Mango” Versus Android and IOS

This is a guest post by William Taylor. If you wish to write one kindly check out the guidelines to write a guest post. Phone “Mango” was Microsoft’s way of answering the “call to duty” because of the emergence of Google’s Android and Apple’s iOS.  

Mango is impressive with its elegant and luring interface.  Messaging proves easy with instant messaging and regular emails. Social networking anyone? You can upgrade your statuses and tweets on Facebook and Twitter while launching widgets in tracking significant events in your life. The Windows Phone makes the iOS appear dull, and plain in looks.

Mango looks fabulous, but one must dig deeper to see if true beauty exists. The OS does not offer much in the way of amenities. The applications available are straightforward widgets that contain no potential of what Android or iOS offers.  Where is the quality and sophistication that was advertised for the Windows phone?

If you want to see a colossal disappointment with the Microsoft phone, please feel free to compare the “Documents to Go” suite, and Apple’s “iWork suite” to the “Office” on the Mango phone.  You will discover that “Office” contains no charts/tables, styles or fonts.  I found the “Office” to be a glorified “notepad”.  Office’s “PowerPoint” does allow for editing text, but you cannot add visual elements or slides. This proved frustrating and disappointing.
Where the Microsoft phone appearsattractive at first glance with the elegant interface, I find it does not have a rightful place in the mobile phone industry.  It does work with Exchange, but it only supports few Exchange Active Sync (EAS) policies
