Microsoft Stuns With Windows Phone 7 Series

Earlier today, Microsoft announced the impressive new Windows Phone 7 Series operating system at Mobile World Congress 2010. Forget what you've seen from earlier Windows Mobile operating systems; Windows Phone 7 Series is an enormous leap forward for Microsoft's smartphone efforts. It features a completely revamped interface (similar to the Zune HD), integration with Xbox Live and Zune, and a heavy emphasis on social networking connectivity. The interface is heavy on images and clean type, a departure from the icon-based designs of webOS/Android/iPhone OS.

At the Barcelona conference, Microsoft revealed carrier partnerships with AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile USA and others worldwide. Slated for a "holiday 2010" release, the 7 Series will be running on hardware from a range of manufacturers, including HTC, Dell, Sony Ericsson, HP, and more.
