I have a feeling there may be a surprise or two when it ships. Of course, I was already surprised by one thing I saw on this list: SMS dictation! I seem to have missed that feature in the other round-ups of Mango features that I've read. There's some good stuff coming - and I sincerely hope that by the time Mango is ready to go, we won't have the scattered, confusing mess of an update story that we got with NoDo.</p>

Dictating a SMS could be, depending by the circumstances, a nice addition but personally I would prefer much more to get the ability to backup them.

To be more accurate I should say "get back the ability to back up SMS".

Agreed. I'm a little surprised we haven't heard anything from the MyPhone Web team...there's been no offering from them for Windows Phone 7, which is puzzling. They've got to be working on something big...I hope! :confused:
