Microsoft Singapore officially launched Windows Phone 7.5 yesterday, bringing more than 500 new features and enhancements. The HTC Radar, at a recommended S$569, and the Samsung Omnia W, at S$498, are the first Windows Phone 7.5 handsets here.
WhatsApp has been on the Windows Marketplace for Mobile since last Saturday, but only for Windows Phone 7.5 Mango users. Most of us are still on Windows Phone 7.0, eagerly awaiting the 7.5 upgrade.

Microsoft today unveiled Windows Phone 7 Series at Mobile World Congress 2010. Being a brand-new OS, they dropped the Windows Mobile 7 branding for this name instead. From the first look, it looks pretty impressive.
