Check Out the World's Most Gigantic Windows Phone 7.5
Smartphones are getting bigger, aren't they?
Microsoft is known for spending some pretty big bucks when it comes to marketing for Windows Phone 7, so why should it be any different for Windows Phone 7.5, AKA Mango?
Last year we heard that Microsoft was investing billions in Windows Phone 7 and that nearly half a billion had been set out for marketing alone. We saw some of that money in action this week in New York City's Herald Square, where Microsoft installed a massive Windows Phone 7 handset to celebrate the launch of four new Windows Phones and in an effort to attract more users.
The huge phone will demonstrate the various features of Windows Phone 7.5 to shoppers preparing to hit Macy's and the surrounding stores this holiday season. Check out the video of the phone's construction below:
Here's another video showing how Microsoft is putting real people in the big Windows Phone. They had live games of Plants vs. Zombies, performances from Far East Movement, and even a proposal:

Apple announces iWall after releasing iBoard! Sales projected to be in the millions Despite nobody having a space to put the bloody thing.
In Related News, Steve Jobs 2 accuses Microsoft of copying iWall design with Gigantic windows phone design.
Somehow, Apple will find a way to sue them for the idea.
Hi Mom, lol.
Couch potatoes rejoice! Dial a phone number from the couch by tossing tennis balls at the numbers! Microsoft introduces the iPlay...err... uh-oh!
But can it play Crysis ?
But can it play Crysis ?
no
But can it play Crysis ?
F you.
But can it play Crysis ?
i think it can
my desktop fits in one cabinet and plays crysis with 40 fps
put 1 machine on each floor, which comes to be 6 machines on 6 floors, huge display
i say this will be the best machine to play crysis !!
Hmm battery life on this is probably terrible
But can it play Crysis ?
No... nor can a screen that large still fit a picture of your mom on it!
Oh... SNAP!
In other news, Window Phone still sucks compared to the competition.

Yes, people like you that have never even used a Mango device tend to spew out this sort of rhetoric. If they had more WP7 models on Verizon, I'd have bought one myself. So even though I don't own one, I can recognize that they've built a really nice platform.

If WP7 is so great how come the industry is not flocking to it?
Last time I checked WP7 is lacking in several basic functions that both iOS and Android have and was not very positively reviewed by anyone.
As I see it WP7.5, like so many other MS products, is just getting it to where it should have been when it launched.
It may be a good system, but when compared to the competition already on the market it sucks.
Love Windows, it does not have the marketshare it deserves. Clean easy to use layout. All the essentials, nothing gimicky. Smooth and stable have not had it crash for a long time.
Love the giant windows phone.
