Microsoft's goal for 2012 is to make Windows Phone a solid third platform offering a viable alternative to iOS and Android. Things are already starting to look good as Windows Phone Division head Andrew Lees believes an important goal has been met: Microsoft became credible again in the phone market. 
Apple is going to make its iPhone 4S available in stores two days from now, on October 14. Pre-orders sold well and according to Apple numbers, more than 1 million units were purchased in the first 24 hours. 
Late last month Microsoft attempted to clarify how Mango's internet sharing would arrive on existing WP7 hardware. The issue, ultimately, depended on the presence of new drivers to let Mango take full advantage of the phone's WiFi hardware. Does that mean we might hope to see the feature make it to all WP7 handsets, eventually? Some detective work by the users over at the XDA-Developers forums suggests we could be stuck with one particular WP7 phone that gets left behind the rest. 
The Weather Channel is one of the more popular Weather apps for Windows Phone, but they weren't the first to offer Mango support. Today, the app has finally seen an update which brings some great improvements to Windows Phone 7.5 Mango users. First off, you get fast app switching support so that the app doesn't have to reload everything every time you switch to it using the task switching. General navigation of the app seems a bit smoother, but it still takes some time downloading data on first launch. While the original version only offered one default location for the live tile, now you can turn on a "Show Live Tile" checkbox for each location that you've saved within the app. Each time you do that, a new Live Tile for that location will show up on your start screen. What's more, the new live tiles for specific locations as well as the default app are now two sided. One side will show the normal current weather information that you'd expect, and it will periodically flip over to show you a radar map of the location. That's a very cool feature! The new app also uses a background process to update Live Tiles every 30 minutes as opposed to the older push notifications method previously employed. 
If you've been waiting for either one of these two phones, you should be happy to find out that both the Samsung Galaxy S II and the HTC Amaze 4G are now available on T-Mobile's website.
