    A Windows Phone has a better User Interface compared to any other mobile operating systems. The best [art is its Tiles which is displayed on the home screen. It contains few LIVE tiles including Facebook and some other social networking site so that you can see the updates live on your home screen itself.

    Now as there are many companies like Nokia, Samsung, HTC, LG etc who have started using windows Phone so you get many options to select handsets as well. For example HTC Titan is a good Windows Phone having 4.7 inch super LCD Display with pretty good resolution. It is powered by 1.5 GHz processor, 512 RAM and gives you 16 GB of storage memory. You also get 8 MP of camera

    In other options there are Nokia Lumia series. There are 3-4 models in Lumia Series including Lumia 710, Lumia 800, Lumia 900 etc.

    Re: Confused between Windows Phone Mango and Windows Phone 8

    Lets have a look at Pros and Cons of Windows Phone 7 Series:

    WP7 has a good Interface. It also has same fluid animations and clean font as Zune HD. You also get easy access to the people Hub so that you can share all updates with your friends. It provides some cool features like Zune HD, Xbox live, etc. That is not all, you also get good outlook email application. The best part of WP7 is getting live updates from any where you want on your home screen itself.

    The main back drop of Windows Phone 7 Mango is that if you launch any application form the home screen it lags a lot. It does not allows you to get custom interface as you like, old windows phone application won’t work, this phone does not works with Apple pc’s, it does not have Flash support.
