Oh dear God. Mango. I'm pretty sure you can actually HEAR my eyes rolling from way over there.

That UI makes fvwm look like the bees knees. I can't see them converting people from ios or android with this. It is like going from a supermodel to a hag.

Yeah--my impression isn't positive but then I've never personally used it, so I can't make an unbiased opinion. All the hip reporters seem to like it, though--but then, these hip reporters also often have a myopic perspective of what a useful and comfortable interface is when they only use things for minutes or a few days at a time but never have to live with it for much longer than that and are wooed and impressed by shiny things and bubble-shaded objects. :)

That's my whole point. This isn't even shiny compared to existing stuff.

Mango's "...IE9 will not support any kind of Flash or its videos or even embedded HTML5 clips" [http://mobileosreviews.com/].

I don't usually do this but,

LOLZ, ROFLMAO, suckaaz!

Ok, back to being disappointed with Noks (yeah, Nokia and I are like that, on first-name-basis)

Seriously? In my country mango can be referred to some sexually transmitted diseases. It'd be pretty awkward to ask someone if he got Mango.

Protip: "these hip reporters" like what they're being paid to like.

Harsh, but this is a reality of how the world works.

They'll like a gold-plated turd if it came with a check from Microsoft.
