The Windows Phone Tango update is currently in testing by Australian carrier Telstra. What is being referred to as the Mango Commercial Refresh 3 update is being tested for release to the Nokia Lumia 800, HTC Mozart and HD7, Samsung Omnia W and LG c900k. Speculation has the Tango MCR3 update being pushed out sometime in July. The update will bring these older Windows Phones current with...
![Windows Phone Tango update being pushed out for HTC Mozart? [Updated]](https://www.windowscentral.com/sites/wpcentral.com/files/styles/w250h188crop/public/postimages/4213/Mozart%20Update%20Tango_0.png)
We just got a report in that the venerable (and underrated) HTC Mozart is receiving a Windows Phone "Tango" update. The news comes form the personal blog of Aviraj Ajgekar, who is a Technology Evangelist at Microsoft Corporation. That puts him pretty high up there as far as credibility. What's more, he documented the whole experience noting that his Mozart (we assume un-branded) ...
It appears that Telstra is rolling out the Windows Phone tethering update, and has enabled Internet sharing for customers, following Vodafone AU. We've received multiple reports from readers (some using the HTC Mozart - new FW version: 2250.21.510002.841) that they've successfully updated. It's good to see the Australian carrier still keeping up with updates. Should you be on the...
We're going to chalk this up to Mango-mania, but according to research firm Kantar, at least in Australia the HTC Mozart has been "performing well in the last 12 weeks". While no exact figures were given, it's still interesting that such an increase was noted in the first place--especially since Android seems to be exploding there, now surpassing the iPhone. The HTC Mozart is a...
We're not sure who at O2 created the image for the HTC Mozart listing on product pages, but they must be an Android fan. According to the image above (and if you check out the link at the bottom of this article) O2 has the Mozart running Android, or so it seems. Clicking on the product to view more information reveals that in fact the device is running Windows Phone, but it may still...
HTC is known to leak like a sieve and that hasn't changed in 2011 at all. Which is good if you have an unbranded, unlocked HTC Mozart as you can now flash the official HTC ROM with Mango on it. We must stress, if you have the Mozart on Orange or any other carrier to not do this flash and to remember that this is still taking a risk. The details are as follows: OS Version: 7.10.7720.68...
Well this is interesting and we can't verify 100% at the moment, but we're told this is from the official HTC developer site for Russia (official HTC site is this: http://www.htc.com/ru/) and they're clearly showing off a Mozart for sale. No biggy there, but the fact that is says in red "UNIT HAS RUSSIAN LOCALIZATION" is of interest since as of now, Windows Phone doesn't have Russian....
On the heels of Tuesday's Samsung Focus 1.4 update comes some more device-specific updates for the HTC Mozart, LG Optimus 7 and Samsung Omnia 7. The updates are meant to address some significant features, such as battery life, touchscreen response and call clarity. Because they have been tailor-made for certain models, we do not expect that every phone will receive one. However, this...
For those with the super sleek and snazzy HTC Mozart, we getting word that Deutsche Telekom has finally starting pushing the long sought NoDo update for that phone today. Originally scheduled for "end of April" we'll give a "close enough!" pass to DT here. No more info at this time as far as firmware changes, but HTC almost always includes some under-the-hood changes e.g. the driver...
Although you wouldn't know it from Microsoft's update page, there's good news for those of you on Australia's Telstra network and who own an HTC 7 Mozart: your NoDo udate has been approved and is now in Microsoft's hands for distribution. "Early May" is given as a time-frame, so basically any day now. Kudos to Telstra for having a more, shall we say, direct way of checking on their...
For those of you with HTC Mozarts (ours is being borrowed, ahem), you may want to head over to XDA to grab the latest factory ROM: [ROM]RUU_Mozart_HTC_Europe_1.30.401.01_5.54.09.21_22.33 b.50_RELEASE This is a full ROM update from HTC themselves and in it, it reportedly contains the latest build of Windows Phone 7, including the much sought after 'NoDo' update with copy/paste and...
The HTC Mozart, a swell little device that we look to be getting here in the U.S. soon, received quite the red carpet launch event in Thailand today. Recently we were asked about new hardware launches, specifically the lack of new devices and to that we'll say that Microsoft and partners are more about augmenting that 30 countries/60 carriers figure than the nine different devices.--...
Microsoft Windows Phone 7 devices are already landing in stores overseas and are just around the corner from hitting the store shelves in the U.S. We are now seeing reviews surface across the web on the Samsung Focus, HTC Mozart, HTC Surround, and HTC HD7. We will soon add our own reviews to the growing list but in the meantime, we thought we would offer up a little roundup of what...
HTC was in the thick of the Windows Phone 7 launch and has added three new videos highlighting three of their WP7 phones. You can find the video on the HTC HD7, Trophy and Mozart over at HTC's YouTube Channel. The twenty second videos don't offer any specs on the phones but showcases them nicely. While the Trophy and Mozart are headed to overseas markets, the HD7 will land at...
HTC has dropped five Windows Phone 7 devices, which we'll list here with HTC's branding but note that some names are different by region: HTC 7 Surround: the surround has that crazy slide-out speaker you've probably seen before - it powers a Dolby Mobile system with SRS WOW HD sound. Exclusive to AT&T in the US HTC 7 Mozart: The headline here: it's built from a single piece of...
The HD7 Mozart, one of HTC's upcoming Windows Phone 7 devices, has received the stamp of approval from the Global Certification Forum (GCF). The specs listed on the certification show that the phone is fitted with European 3G which obviously means it will likely stay overseas.All of which poses the question, is the Shubert, Mozart, HD3, and HD7 the same phone? Is the Shubert / HD3 the...
We've seen numerous indicators that HTC will be launching a Windows Phone 7 device next month (October 21st in Europe?) and an HTC Executive added more credibility to an October launch. In a recent interview with Gulfnews, Mohammad Kais Zribi, HTC's Regional Director for the Middle East/North Africa, stated, "We will be launching Windows Phone 7 handsets next month and we will be...
Busy if not unexciting day for HTC leaks so far...First, it appears that those earlier pics of the HTC Schubert were mis-identified. Instead, it seems that it is actually the HTC Mozart, a more low-end WP7 device headed for Telstra (rumored for T-Mobile too). A few more non-thrilling images are below via Xmoo on Twitter (as evidenced by the low-quality images, he must be using an HTC...
File this under "confusing": Are the HTC Schubert and HTC Mozart one and the same? We may be finding out soon as TmoNews is hearing from a trusted source that the HTC Mozart (a 800x480, keyboardless slab) is coming to T-Mobile USA in the fall.The big question is are Schubert/Mozart just swappable code names--one being the general device ('Mozart'), the other the carrier specific version...
