Windows Phone 7 Series

One thing we took away during our time reviewing the Zune HD was how cool would it be if Microsoft put that interface into a phone. Today they've done just that with their Windows Phone 7 Series which is a complete overhaul of their phone software that takes a more lifestyle-centric approach while remaining productivity-friendly. Rather than using a convention icon-based layout, Windows Phone 7 has a more organic layout with rich animations and real-time updates based on your social media feeds and messages. The phone also takes on the full Zune music player experience and they've even thrown in a mobile version of Office for editing and sharing documents. Available Holiday 2010. Link

No word on availability on US soil, though with HSDPA compatibility expect it to hit your favorite import retailer soon after its release. Link
