AT&amp;T is bringing Mango to it&#8217;s WP7 lineup this fall and is also adding three new Mango-powered models that are 4G capable. Samsung is bringing two updates to its popular Samsung Focus phone, the mid-range Samsung Focus Flash and the meaner Samsung Focus S.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Focus Flash will sport a 3.7 inch Super AMOLED display, a 1.4Ghz processor, a 5MP camera and a front-facing camera. The Focus S will be a slim 8.5mm thick device with a generous 4.3 inch screen, a 1.4Ghz processor, an 8MP camera and a 1.3MP front-facing camera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>HTC is also throwing its hat into the mix with the HTC Titan (not to be confused with the <a title=\"HTC Titan\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/HTC_Titan_%28Windows_Mobile_phone%29\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">HTC Titan<\/a>) which sports the biggest screen on the market for a WP7 device. At 4.7 inches, this device will be perfect for Xbox Live and AT&amp;T U-Verse services. It also packs a 1.5 Ghz processor, an 8MP camera with dual-led flash, and a front facing camera, ensuring that this will be AT&amp;T&#8217;s flagship WP7 device this fall. Expect these handsets to hit stores in October.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you own an HTC HD7S, HTC Surround, LG Quantum, or Samsung Focus, you will be eligible for a Windows Phone 7.5 upgrade around the same time as well, so keep your eyes peeled for the update notification!
