IS12T gives you a look at hidden Wifi SSID support coming to Mango, plus more exclusive features

Tezawaly from Nanapho.jp has been spending plenty of time with recently announced Fujitsu - Toshiba's water proof IS12T. His latest post revealed Hidden Wifi network support interface which will soon be coming to Mango Retail build. Hidden SSID support wasn't included in the latest refreshed beta build for unknown reason but Brandon Watson confirmed yesterday that the support will come with  Mango RTM. Apparently, the IS12T that Tezawaly has been playing around runs on build 7716 while the refreshed developer build is 7712, so the build being mention here is a step ahead of the build available to the developers but just short of RTM which is 7720.  Read more after the break.

Connect to Hidden WiFi networks on Windows Phone 7 with HTC's Hidden Wi-Fi application

Well it's a know problem that your Windows Phone 7 device cannot connect to hidden networks, which is a huge problem for several people. HTC has just released an application called ' Hidden Wifi ' that let's you add 3 Wifi access points with hidden network names ( you do that by entering your network name or SSID )  to Wifi network list on your mobile after which you can connect to them just like any other Wifi network.

Do give it a shot and tell us if it works as described above :

Sadly, it's limited to HTC devices for now.
