Ben and Rafe head to the Millbank Tower in London for the official UK unveiling of Mango, Microsoft’s latest (and most major) update to the Windows Phone 7 platform (Wireless Worker coverage, All About Symbian coverage) where we also interview Oded Ran, Head of Consumer Marketing, Windows Phone, UK. I joined the chaps afterwards as we discuss:

  • The ‘500’ new features in Mango
  • The problems and benefits the new platform has
  • Whether anyone should care about Windows Phone and whether it has a stand-out selling point
  • First impressions of Mango
  • WP7’s business features
