A LEAK for Nokia’s new Windows Phone

Nokia’s new Windows Phone codenamed the Sea Ray has been “leaked.”

OK, Nokia are in the news this week. Its only been a few days since news of the upcoming release of the MeeGo N9 smartphone was revealed and now the company have just let slip about the first ever Windows Phone OS to run on Nokia.

Stephen Elop, CEO of Nokia initially asked  all audience members to switch off any recording devices that they had on them because  of the “super confidential” information that was about to be revealed in the presentation, it was something “that we do not want to see out in the blogosphere”. Bit late for that.

Very strangely Elop didn’t seem to notice any of the recording devices at all, a bit hard to be believe.

He moved on to show the audience members what the codenamed Sea Ray would look like when released which very much resembled the N9 apart from a new button added to the side of the phone.

What I can’t work out is Nokia are putting out information here, there and everywhere at the moment, which to me doesn’t sound like great PR. A few days ago it was news of the N9 and now its a leak of the Sea Ray. Answer this one, whose going to buy the N9 running on an unheard OS when they can just wait for the N9 lookalike to be released running Windows Mango later this year. Hmm.

Xbox Live gets a new look and feel in the Mango update

With the release of the next update of the Windows Phone OS called, Mango Xbox Live receives an overhaul.

We earlier heard about Mango a few months ago with it featuring in Nokia’s new and upcoming range of Windows handsets but today I can tell you that popular gaming social platform, Xbox Live is like you’ve never seen it before. Yes, really!

Initially, you will notice a brand new interface on the Windows Phone Xbox Live Hub with updates to the current icons style wise, a brand new recent category which is pretty useful if you’re a regular because what it will do is store as it says your three most recent games played. This then makes it easier and quicker to begin that addictive game again! Also, alongside the new facelift, performance has also been improved by offering faster response time. Always good, no one enjoys a wait.

Now, something that I quite like is the new 3D avatars who yawn and give a friendly wave once or twice. What do you think of them, do you share my opinion?

Finally, also featured in this update is the chance to send messages and keep a track of all of your friends achievements directly through your Windows Phone.

What do you think of the new update? Let me know below.

What’s my view?

I think yes improvements have been made here for the better to create a more preferred OS, whether or not they will be liked that is something we just have to wait and find out.
