Hi Shamil Finally, today I installed the latest version 7.5 Mango on our phones. Looks exiting. Lots of apps to browse for a potential waste of time. One, however, I've missed - a QR code reader. /gustav >>> Salakhetdinov Shamil <mcp2004 at mail.ru> 03-12-2011 00:42 >>> Hi Gustav -- Thank you for your notes and links - I have got a few other ones (see P.S.), which allowed me to start WP7 test development I have already got all the development stuff installed and I can create WP7 solutions, build and run them in emulation mode on my PC... So we are just two here - happy owners on Windows Phone 7/7.5? Anybody else? BTW, I have given my WP7.5 to play to my son (he is 10+ years old) and to compare to his Samsung Fit with Android 2.x - and my son wasn't impressed by my WP at all :( (:) Yes, MS has to do quite a lot on this "frontline" to get kids and teens "back to Windows (Phones)". "Angry Birds", "Doodle Jump" and many other popular games are free for Android - very important option for kids. Even with 1-3USD price for "Angry Birds" and "Doodle Jump" MS risks to miss WP market for children... Have you got registered on Windows Phone Development Registration page http://create.msdn.com/en-US/ ? I'm considering registering there if it will give some additional information on WP7, if not, then I will stay unregistered till I'll get something ready to publish on that site. Registration is 99USD/year. I'm also interested will WP7.5 Internet Tethering work here in Russia with my mobile provider or not (http://www.winrumors.com/windows-phone-7-5-internet-tethering-feature-only-available-on-new-devices/) - they say this feature is opened/blocked by mobile operators. I have mobile USB modem which I use with my laptop when on the road or outside of my broadband Internet connection - if WP7 Internet Tethering will be available here then I will use it instead of USB modem... <snip>
