ZTE Tania–Price drop just £199

imageIt might not have even started shipping yet, but the price of the ZTE Tania has just been reduced, by £50, in preparation for the first stock due in about 10 days time.

Now just £199 inclusive of VAT the Tania is without doubt one of the best bargains on the market at the moment.

We previously suggested whilst the Tania was a good option but in terms of value for money we would pay an extra £50 for the Samsung Omnia W, but now we can assure you that the Tania is the far more cost effective solution at a whole £95 cheaper.

Key features of the Tania include:

  • Windows Phone 7.5
  • 1GHz processor
  • 4.3 inch display
  • 5 megapixel camera with auto focus & flash
  • 4GB Internal Memory
  • WiFi 802.11b/g/n
  • 3G/HSPA

Video Calling on the HTC Titan with Windows Phone 7.5

The new Windows Phone 7.5 Mango devices, including the HTC Titan and the HTC Radar, will come with the Tango video calling service built-in. Although video call usage is still low in the UK due to the restrictions of mobile internet coverage, there are similar video calling services for Apple (FaceTime) and Android (Skype) and no doubt we will see Facebook’s service integrated to handsets within the near future. Windows Phone is looking to join the party with its Tango service, as demonstrated in the video below by Aaron Woodman, Director of Windows Phone.

Windows Phone 7.5 (Mango)–New camera features

So we will be seeing quite a few Windows Phone 7.5 devices rolling out in the last quarter of 2011 and many of which will see the following enhancements that Microsoft have made to the camera application.

Improvements include, video sharing, tap-to-focus and twitter integration. You can easily tag photos and share them on Facebook and SkyDrive right from the camera application.

Autofix is a new feature too that can be used to improve the image brightness and colour etc. if it isn’t quite right.

A fuller description of the improvements can be seen below (taken from Windows Phone Blog post)

Camera:

  • Autofix—Apply some common photographic fixes to a picture, on your phone, in one tap.
  • Touch focus and capture—Tap any spot on the screen to focus there and take the shot. (This varies according to hardware—some phones will have tap-to-capture but will still automatically center focus.)
  • Sticky settings—Save your custom camera settings for next time.
  • Ability to mute the shutter sound—Good for taking pictures at those school holiday pageants (not available in all countries and regions).
  • Review pictures above the lock—Snap a photo when your phone is locked, then take a peek at it above the lock. You’ll only be able to get to photos you just took—better for security.
  • Changes for portrait orientation—Now, when you take a picture in portrait orientation, you’ll see it in portrait orientation when you review it.

Pictures:

  • Video sharing—Send your vids in email or post them to Facebook or SkyDrive.
  • Twitter integration—Tweet your pics!
  • Easy picture tagging on upload to Facebook or SkyDrive.
  • View and add tags on your friends’ Facebook and SkyDrive pictures.
  • Integration with the People Hub—View your friends’ albums on their contact cards and on Group cards.
  • People view—See snapshots and albums from your favorite contacts in the Pictures Hub.
  • Personalize—Tag some favorites and choose Shuffle background in the Pictures Hub, and you’ll see your favorite photos on the Hub and on Start.
  • When you choose a photo from within an app, you can now pick from online albums on Facebook or SkyDrive, not just pictures saved on your phone.
  • Quick access to the Camera Roll—Before, it took two taps in the Pictures Hub to get the photos you’ve snapped. Now it’s front and center.
  • Apps pane—Developers can register their photo-related apps to show up in the Pictures Hub for easy access.
  • Autoshare to SkyDrive changed to Automatically upload to SkyDrive, which you can turn on to upload a lower-res version of every picture you take to a private location on SkyDrive.
  • Pin any album to Start, including Facebook albums.

Fujitsu-Toshiba announce world’s first device with Windows Phone 7.5 Mango

Microsoft signed off the Windows Phone 7.5 Mango code to manufacturers late last month so it shouldn’t be too long before a wave of new devices and updates start cropping up.

imageTo kick things off, the first confirmed device was actually announced the same day last week for the Japanese market from Fujitsu-Toshiba in partnership with Japanese network provider KDDI. The IS12T (catchy name) will be available in 3 colours and has a pretty impressive spec sheet featuring a 1GHz processor, 32GB of on board storage, water resistant casing and a whopping 13.2 megapixel camera. Sadly the chances of it being available outside of Japan are less than the UK getting more than nil pois in the next Eurovision Song Contest.

We’ll just have to wait for the usual suspects to officially confirm their Mango devices and updates for the UK/Euro market which hopefully wont be too long now
