Microsoft Unveils Windows Phone 7 Lineup

adeelarshad82 writes "Microsoft officially unveiled its Windows Phone 7 mobile operating system, announcing that it will be available on a total of five devices in the US. Windows Phone 7 handsets from AT&T and T-Mobile will begin shipping in November, while devices from Sprint and Verizon will be available next year. In all, Microsoft announced nine Windows Phone 7 phones, the remainder of which will be available in Canada, Mexico, the UK, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Singapore, and Australia. It will debut in some European markets on Oct. 21. While early signs are encouraging for Windows Phone 7, it is being deemed as do or die for the future of Microsoft's business."

    Wrong (as in, not even close)... but if it comforts you or makes you feel better to believe that, I certainly can't stop you.

    How is that simple reply "kool-aid" (or even a 'troll'?? Excuse me? What idiot moderated that simple factual list a 'troll'??)

    You ask what it offered. I listed what it offered. If it means nothing to you, then it's not a phone for you. If it does, then it might be, and you can check it out.

    Either way, not sure why the snarky comment or the troll-mod.

    I could give just as good a list for both iOS (which I use) and Android (which a friend uses)... would those be trolls or kool-aid too??

    I think that Microsoft have screwed themselves in the business market by locking down the handset. Android is the only platform that is business friendly since it is the only platform where a business can be in total control of the phone.

    So your posts haven't even been on topic, much less about "sharing experience."

    Oh, boo hoo. I said it wasn't my phone. I'll try to be more touchy-feely next time, your highness. Twitter me, babe. We'll do the lunch thing.
