Exploring the Mango OS with Nokia Lumia and HTC Radar.
Nokia haven’t had the best of times within the recent past. With sale of Nokia products slowing down, the company has lately been in all sorts of turmoil pleasing customers with their Symbian OS. Besides, with their ranking steadily dropping, only company CEO Stephen Elop seems optimistic about the company’s chances of toppling the likes of Samsung and Apple. While Nokia’s home gown Symbian OS 3 offered little resistance against the likes of Android and iOS, but the company hopes to change all of that by joining hands with Microsoft on the highly ambitious WP 7 project. The company only recently launched the Nokia Lumia 800, which is the first WP7 handset and won’t be the last thanks to a healthy reception. According to a recent
Nokia Lumia 800 review, the handset comes preloaded with almost every feature you can imagine. Coupled with that, Nokia has also made the Lumia 800 look downright sexy thanks to an all polycarbonate mono shell that combines well with the brilliant 3.7 inch AMOLED display running on the Nokia ClearBlack technology.
The Nokia Lumia 800 might be a geeky phone, but the recently launched HTC Radar isn’t too far behind. Made out of solid aluminum, the body has just about the perfect curves to make users feel completely reassured on the quality of exhibit. Add to that, HTC have bundled in the Mango 7.5 OS just like in the Nokia, the HTC does well to manage the Mango OS thanks mainly to a rather modest 1 GHz Scorpion processor. According to a
HTC Radar review, the handset might not be able to compete with the Lumina from a hardware point of view, but HTC have looked to bundle in all essential goodies without spending too much high end features.
The Radar comes with standard connectivity options that include, GPRS, EDGE, 3G, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n with DLNA support, Bluetooth 2.1 with A2DP and EDR and USB 2.0. Users will also have standard A-GPS support plugged in, while Bing Maps comes integrated. Interestingly, both the handsets utilize voice driven navigation controls over their respective GPS systems. According to a Nokia Lumia 800 review, the Lumia slightly ploughs ahead of the Radar in terms of multimedia features, but then the Nokia bears a greater price than the Radar. Meanwhile, both render the Mango OS pretty well despite the OS’s graphical requirements. Both HTC and Nokia will be hoping to create a new customer, which could well be the case especially looking at the polished way the mango OS approaches mobile computing.
