Windows Phone 7 Hits the US.

  • Artigo

 

The wait is over. I know many of you have been eagerly waiting to get your hands on one of the new Windows Phones. With the release of Windows Phone 7 in the US here, now is the time to participate in the “experience” yourself. If you have not had a chance to discover the new Windows Phone I encourage you to do so. Really?

The number of great applications available on Windows Phone 7 continues to grow rapidly. I have worked with many of the Microsoft Partners creating these applications. I know they are just as excited as I am, and will be in stores on Monday to pick up their phones.

Below is the list of phones available in the US from AT&T and T-Mobile with Sprint and Verizon coming in early 2011. Now the question changes from “when?” to “which one?”.

I am personally leaning to the Samsung Focus given the size (thinnest and lightest). I have had a very good experience with my Omnia II. Which phone will you get? Please drop me an email or note.
