First hands-on with Windows Phone 7 Series
Remember some time ago in the not so distant past we spoke of the impending launch of Windows Phone 7 Series? How it could just be the be all end all of the Windows Phone 7 OS and would drop close to the end of 2010? Well, guess what, in true Engadget fashion they brought Microsoft’s Aaron Woodman on their “Engadget Show” and he decided to do a bit of teasing.
The above picture is the a Windows Phone 7 Series production prototype, the first ever shown to the world, but thats not all he did. He also also went on to describe what we can expect from the device in a sense of look and feel.
Here’s what he had to say:
it’s just a hair thicker than an iPhone or Nexus One, there are dedicated hardware camera, volume, and power buttons in addition to the back, home, and search buttons dictated by Windows Phone 7 Series, and we noticed a five megapixel camera with a flash on the back, along with a headphone jack
What do you think? Does this spark some interest to find out what Microsoft has in store? Or lost all love for the Windows Mobile platform? Leave us a comment!

Android 1.6-powered LG Loop Arrives At Rogers
about 1 year ago - View Comments
Does Rogers need another low-end, old-software Android device? Like I need a hole in the head. Which isn’t very much (though, reading press releases sometimes…). Perhaps what they need to do is take the devices they already sell, like the Samsung Galaxy Spica, HTC Magic+, Motorola QUENCH et al, and UPGRADE THEM INSTEAD. Uhem. On a

Just over six months after the introduction of Microsoft’s Window Phone 7 mobile phone operating system, the Windows Phone Developer Blog has announced that the gold release of the Windows Phone Developer Tools will be available on September 16th. Along with that news, we have also been informed that application submissions to the Windows Phone
Hands-On With Windows Phone 7!

Today is a pretty special day at TCG. We have been given the chance to look at Windows Phone 7 running on a few pre-production hardware models. The phone that I am using at the moment is a pre-production Samsung phone running on Rogers, but there are a couple floating around. Throughout the day we
Windows Phone 7: Coffee and Code
about 1 year ago - View Comments
There has been much talk of Apple and Blackberry of recent, but what about Microsoft and their re-invigorated OS now known as Windows Phone 7? Other than the odd device pop-up, the actual performance and usability have been shrouded in secrecy, with only potential launch dates being announced to the public. If you are a die-hard Windows

QuestionsView Results Ok, so the poll results aren’t exactly going to turn a lot of heads here. I mean, most people haven’t even seen a Windows Phone 7 device in person, and to truly appreciate a new phone platform it needs to be used. Couple that with the fact that Windows Mobile has left a

In an interview with BusinessWeek, Microsoft’s Senior Director Todd Brix confirmed recent suspicions that Microsoft has been providing free hardware as well as financial incentives to entice developers to the Windows Phone 7 platform. Financial incentives include cash for their commitment to the platform as well as a little assurance that if things go south, their time won’t have been

Microsoft Kin One and Kin Two Social Phones Ousted
about 2 years ago - View Comments
Microsoft, failing not to be outshined by Apple time and time again, has released information about their new social phones, the Kin One and Kin Two. Kin One seems to be an ugly, portrait-slider clamshell design with a low-res screen. It will likely be marketed to teenagers looking for basic social functionality without an expensive
Windows Phone 7 Re-Brands Itself….Again
about 2 years ago - View Comments
What was once “Windows Mobile” then “Windows Phone 7 Series”, is now settled at “Windows Phone 7″ for the newly reinvigorated OS (that has still yet to officially launch). No word yet on the effect this re-branding will have, if any, on their ongoing marketing strategy and eventual rollout of the platform. But with all
Windows Phone 7 Series meets HTC Diamond, well sort of.
about 2 years ago - View Comments
We all know about Microsoft’s strict hardware requirements for devices looking to run WP7S. Today Engadget posted video of the HTC Diamond running WP7S. Now when I say running, I mean that it was actually doing so through a remote desktop client and not actually a port of the OS. After seeing the video I

I was really hoping the initial hardware offering using the Winows Phone 7 OS would be a lot more innovative and eye-catching than what we’re seeing out of LG. Microsoft needs to get a little more involved with the hardware for this.
