Microsoft revealed that Windows Phone 7 Mango has made its way to manufacturers earlier this week, now the world’s first phone running the update has been extensively detailed on video. The clip offers the best look at Windows Phone 7 Mango so far including deeper Twitter integration and music streaming from SkyDrive (potentially giving Windows Phone devices an iCloud alternative).

We’re hoping that the Windows Phone 7 Mango devices we get in the West will be as great to look at as the IS12T. It’ll arrive in Japan in September with a 13.2MP camera, 32GB of memory, DLNA support, Xbox Live connectivity and a choice of three colours (yellow, black and pink). We’re pinning out hopes on the Nokia Windows Phone 7 partnership and those rumours of a Samsung Galaxy S2 with Windows Phone 7 onboard.

Good news! Windows Phone 7 Mango, the first major update for Microsoft’s smartphone OS, has reached a major milestone. The company has announced on the Windows Phone Blog that the Mango has hit the Release To Manufacturing (RTM) stage which means it’s now in the hands of carriers and phone makers including Nokia, HTC, LG, Samsung, Dell, ZTE and Fujitsu.

The move means Windows Phone 7 Mango, which Microsoft previewed back in May, is still on course to arrive in the autumn. The Fujitsu IS12T has also been confirmed as the first phone in the world arriving with Windows Phone 7 Mango. It’ll get a Japanese launch in September. While we’re unlikely to get our hands on that phone, expect to see lots of details on new Windows Phone 7 Mango devices leaking over the next few weeks.

Check out our Windows Phone 7 Mango preview for a rundown of all the new features.

Last time we heard from Microsoft, the Windows Phone 7 Mango update was due to arrive in the autumn. But it seems the first Windows Phone 7 Mango handset could drop earlier, at least for folk in Japan. According to Nikkei, Fujitsu will launch the first phone packing Windows Phone 7 Mango next month.

The Fujitsu Windows Phone 7 Mango device is a waterproof model called the IS12T. It’ll be sold for between 30,000 and 40,000 yen (£235 to £313) which is pretty pricey.

Click through to see a bright pink version of the handset on show beside other future Windows Phone 7 models in a video from Microsoft’s Worldwide Partner Conference last week. Still, since it’s unlikely to reach the UK, that Samsung Galaxy S2 with Windows Phone 7 is still topping our wishlist…

Windows Phone: Nokia, Acer, ZTE and Fujitsu join the party this year

UPDATE: Nokia has just announced that its first Windows Phone handset will run Mango.

It’s no secret that a Nokia Windows Phone or twenty is on the way, but Microsoft has just confirmed several other new partners committed to busting out Windows Phone blowers as soon as this year, all running Mango. Among them, Acer (a long rumoured partner), Fujitsu and up and coming Chinese manufacturer ZTE.

The latter is by far the most interesting since it’s recently made a name for itself cranking out incredibly cheap – and surprisingly good – Android smartphones. Microsoft however specifies minimum specs for Windows Phone handsets and is set on avoiding a race to the bottom, so it’ll be interesting to see how ZTE tries to stand out. Stay tuned for more, the press conference is just kicking off.

Apple’s forthcoming tablet has been called many things – the Apple Tablet, the iSlate, the iTablet – but it seems its fighting hard for another name. Apple has filed multiple requests to gain control of the ‘iPad’ trademark. The name is currently controlled by Fujitsu which uses it for a small device used in US retail stores.
