I have been holding back on my free handset upgrade for almost 10 months now waiting for these. Orange had better be offering Windows Phone 7 else I'll be moving network. Bring 'em on.

Man I hate and love technology. I want a Windows Mobile 7 Series, but I just got a Zune HD and and an Android Phone. 

 

Great work Microsoft, truly something great. It is just a shame that it'll be two years before I can enjoy your work in this area Tongue Out Damn that sucks.

Where is Silverlight Mobile?

This is an awesome phone OS. I wonder what will happen with HTC's TouchFlow? I hope companies wont be able to mess with the rom too much.

I know what you mean. I'm just going to give my phone to my daughter and get the HTC HD2. I hear it will be able to take an upgrade to Win Phone 7.

I love the cutom ActiveSync actions. Is their going to be any support for Office Communicator Mobile? or any SIP VoIP

While I have really enjoyed my iPhone, when the Zune HD came out, I thought to myself that Microsoft had just toasted Apple on UI/UX design. I was a little sad they didn't launch WP7 then, but the quality is apparent and should help make up ground over the next few years. Well done!

The good news is that they won't be able to do that from my understanding anymore Wink
