Creating a backup takes a lot longer than I would have thought! Do you have a developer licence?
EDIT: It took 859.62 seconds to complete the backup! I should have removed the music files first 0 -

Odd, I'm not getting any update notification. Does it have chat?
I don't think they'll bother with facebook chat in the facebook app since I believe Mango will have facebook chat integrated into the messaging app. Or is it just the facebook messaging service they're integrating? I'm not sure.I reset my phone completely before doing it, took about 400 seconds to do the backup.I didn't want to have to setup my phone again and thankfully everything works the way it did before.
Congrats both of ye on getting Mango! So will ye be abiding by the terms of your Non Disclosure Agreement, or will ye be dishing the dirt on boards? Mango, in my mind, will be the finishing touch on one of the best mobile OSs I've ever used. 0 -

If WP7 wasn't the ultimate Facebook platform before I think it would be safe to say it is now ;-)
Who will need a Facebook app when mango comes? 0 -

I unofficially installed it
on my phone so I've not agreed to any Non Disclosure Agreement but I'll tell you one thing everything seems to update and run a lot smoother which is hard to do considering it already ran a smooth as butter!
I love the groups, I've setup a couple and they work great, one for "The Lads" one for "Family" and one for "Office" and aonther for the "Chicks". The MSN messenger works great and I love that you can search your online mail for historic emails that aren't on your phone!
Xbox live looks and works a lot lot better as well.
It's keeping me away from my real job!!

So far, Facebook Chat is amazing. Its so seamless, and the connection hasnt dropped at all.
Twitter integration doesnt actually work yet though, it just says "Coming Soon".
I'll have more to say after I play around with it.
Quick Update:
Bing has some cool new features. My favorite is Audio, it listens to whatever is playing around you, then tells you what the song is, and links you to the marketplace.
Zune also has the SmartDJ feature now, it builds playlists based on the songs you've selected, which really rocks.
So far, these are my two favorite features of Mango. Unfortunately, you cant use them if you've an Irish account. Which is why, once again, I'm using my American one. Much more features in it.0 -

Just got my Optimus to the door today, delighted, its class.
@AntiVirus
After reading your guide on how to unlock the phone in the bargain alert thread. It says "DeveloperUnlockState" should equal 1, mine equals a big number. Any ideas? Should I just set it to 0 anyway??#
Thanks, you've been very helpful so far.
Just set it to 1 and it will work fine, make sure you switch to DWORD. Any trouble let me know, once unlocked you'll be able to install the Mango beta to see the BIG difference!
LG Optimus Unlocking
1. Open the MFG app and use the password 277634#*# to open it.
2. Go to Engineer Menu -> Other Settings -> Edit Registry
3. Set your ROOT PATH to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE"
4. Set your input path to "\Comm\Security\LVMod"
5. Set your input key to "DeveloperUnlockState" and set to DWORD
6 .Set your input data box to "1" and hit SET. Output result should be 1
7.Keep this screen open and read below
Zune will relock your phone when you connect to it so do the following to keep your phone unlocked after you have done the above:
1. Set your ROOT PATH to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE"
2. Set your input path to "\Software\Microsoft\DeviceReg"
3. Set your input key to "PortalUrlProd" and set to DWORD
4. Clear your input data box and hit SET. Output result should be 0
5. Keep this screen open and continue to Part 2
Part 2
1. Set your ROOT PATH to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE"
2. Set your input path to "\Software\Microsoft\DeviceReg"
3. Set your input key to "PortalUrlInt" and set to DWORD
4. Clear your input data box and hit SET. Output result should be 0
5. Backout to the password screen and shutdown the phone via powerbutton.
6. Reboot and sync. Your LG Optimus 7 should stay unlocked.
All done :-)0 -

ok another question i connect to my wifi at home,but some time i like to do a bit of browsing when im out, i have no idea how to connect to vodafone live on the 99cents a day.
I am payg on double top up.
my hotmail is hotmail.com and i think its set to ireland cant see anything in profile on the pc to change.
all the prices show up in pounds in the marketplace and not in euro ,can that be changed too
You probably have set up your account for England. No way to change it. Only way is to start a new one. Or try your luck with cc. You can get a new email and just set up your old one as a separate account. Once mango comes u can link them together 0 -
I bought some stuff on my Irish windows live account and I don't want to set up a US account just for the extra bing features
Will they eventually be brought over here?
Yes, eventually.
By "Yes" I mean "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH", and by "eventually" I mean "No"
Ireland is too small a demographic to invest in, they'd probably never be able to make a profit bringing those features out here.0 -

I'm not even sure if that'd do it. Microsoft have to pay to be able to distribute music and use services like the voice recognition (Which is done by an outside company, not in-house).
The problem lies with the fact that Ireland has a max potential of around 5 million customers. Take out all the people who dont have phones, then all the people who buy Android/IOS/Blackberry/Etc, and you're not left with much.
The costs to provide the services will outweigh the profits if they were to bring them out here.
If WP7 takes off, and becomes the dominant Phone OS in the UK, USA and other big places, MS might consider expanding, until then, we're left out to hang.0
