Windows Phone Mango devices could be unveiled beginning September 1st

Microsoft will begin rolling out Windows Phone 7.5 “Mango” to last year’s Windows Phone lineup beginning September 1st, Pocket-lint reports. The British tech blog cites multiple trusted sources with its report, and it says September 1st will also mark the start of device announcements touting Microsoft’s Mango OS. The date just one day ahead of this year’s IFA trade show in Berlin, where Pocket-lint says Microsoft may have Windows Phone 7.5-powered devices on display alongside manufacturers like Samsung ZTE and LG. Nokia is not expected to unveil its first Windows Phone until its annual Nokia World event in October. Microsoft’s Joe Belfore addressed the rumor without confirming or denying it early Friday morning, saying only that it is, in fact, a rumor.

    Nokia needs to move quicker here. This is getting ridiculous.

    I really need a new phone to replace my dying iPhone 4! Would love to see something from Nokia with WP7 like the N9 – I’m just not sure that I can hang on! – Nokia’s gotta move on this!!

    I’m thinking this is wrong. I have a feeling we will see announcements start this month.

    MS will never sell any phones with their current strategy.
    No one buys current phones because Mango phones are “coming soon”
    Even with 30 new handsets coming out, everyone wants the Nokia.
    People will continue to hold off buying Until Nokia comes out, but by the time Nokia gets their phone out MS will announce Windows phone 8 and no one will buy Mango because they want to wait for 8.
    Announcing things 6 months in advance is nit a good strategy.

    My first thought upon hearing Mango is Chris Kattan. Does Microsoft go out of their way to suck the hip from their products?
