First real Windows Phone is here

Nokia has finally announced it first Windows Phone and it is super sexy with Mango.

See the coverage on Engadget.

Mango Nokias coming

Multiple phones coming up from Nokia during Nokia world conference. Guess what. All in Mango flavor. When is it October, November ... Can't wait! By the way didn't know that Nokia is a name of a river.

The real deal - Nokia 800

Well, there have been some big releases this week in the Smartphone arena. Apple released its iPhone 4S. Everyone expected iPhone 5, but still the iFans are happy with whatever Apple releases. Then Google answered with the Galaxy Nexus and Droid RAZR and iCS. Now, its turn of Microsoft. It did give us some Mango flavor, but what it is missing is a killer device to go along with the killer software.

And Nokia 800 might be that device. Look at it - super cool and sexy. With all the battle going between Apple and the Android look alikes, Nokia proves that phones with screens can still look different. The quality of Nokia and the smoothness of Windows Phone can be the combination to beat.

Let the fun begin. The timing could not be more right. More pictures can be found here.
