Are we going to see the Mango in action inside a Nokia phone?

  Most probably..

  Yes, but a lot of the leaks suggest these might be mid-range phones, unfortunately. And a U.S. launch in 2011 seems unlikely.

    It's like everyone involved with Windows Phone is looking for reasons to take potential customers and make them keep saying "Well, maybe I want one of these at some point, but clearly today isn't the day to go buy one." First, cut and paste is coming at some point, then it was delayed. Then Mango is coming at some point with multitasking and a bunch of other stuff. Now, handsets newer than a year old are only slowly trickling out, the country with the best OS-supported services is late getting them, and the handsets may or may not be coming to any given customer's carrier anyway. To say nothing of all the time this gives people to settle in permanently with iPhone or Android in the meantime. It's like a business school case study in how to keep customers from taking action.

      On the contrary, I'm very happy with the way things are happening. Sure, I hope to wake up tomorrow and here that the Nokia Searay is real, is awesome, and is available to buy immediately (with free same-day shipping). That would be awesome. But the reality is that the first batches of Windows Phones did not sell well. There are a lot of reasons for it, there is a lot of blame to go around. Nevertheless it's understandable that the carriers weren't urgent to get more Windows Phones. They do seem to be relatively excited about Mango, though. The Focus S seems like a pretty awesome phone to me. As does the Titan. As does (hopefully, if it's real) the Searay.
