14 DAY TRIAL // Windows Phone Mango, the next version of Microsoft's mobile operating system, is expected to arrive on the market later during the ongoing year on a wide range of new devices, and some of them have been recently brought to the spotlight, including a new handset from Acer, one from Dell, and a smartphone from Fujitsu.
For the time being, nothing was officially confirmed on the existence of these devices, but they already emerged into the wild, and chances are that they would be launched with Mango on board in the following months.
The Acer W4 was seen at large a few months ago, when a series of details on its specifications also emerged.
With a 3.5-inch touchscreen display that boasts a WVGA (480 x 800 pixels) resolution and a fast 1GHz Qualcomm MSN8255 Snapdragon application processor beneath it, the phone should prove a nice option for a wide range of users, that's for sure.
The device was also said to land with 8GB of internal memory, along with a 5-megapixel photo snapper on the back, 3G, WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity capabilities, and DLNA support.
The Dell Wrigley was already seen in a leaked roadmap from Dell, and is said to be on its way to the market in a form factor similar to the one available on Dell Venue Pro.
Packing a large 4-inch WVGA screen and a vertical sliding QWERTY keyboard, the handset would also sport a fast 1GHz application processor, while rocking an 8-megapixel photo snapper on the back.
And there is also the Fujitsu IS12T smartphone, which was rumored only a few days ago to be on its way to the Japanese market sometime in August.
No specific info on what the mobile phone would include in terms of hardware emerged for the time being, but rumor has it that it would be launched as a water resistant device, and that it would feature a form factor similar to the one Fujitsu packed with the Android-based REGZA T-01C.
This would be the very first handset from Fujitsu to run under Microsoft's Windows Phone operating system, and might be released in the country on the airwaves of wireless carrier KDDI.
