Isn't it Windows Phone 7 Series, instead of the other way around (as used in the article)?

Unfortunately I'll be 7-9 months into an 18/24 month contract when these devices start becoming available (same thing happened to me when v6 came out, Grr!), but they're taking grand leaps this time rather than baby-steps.

So... who's going to make me a WPS7 skin for my v6.5 phone? Form an orderly line please...

Although I think I'll stick with Android I think it looks good. They've done their own thing and not tried to just copy.

Everyone keeps saying that by the time this comes out Android/iPhone will be even more advanced but do you really see either platform changing that radically in the meantime?

Now fingers crossed the best bits get copied/ported to Android!

Oh dear...I must be a wrong'un - I think i'll stick with 6.5X over that mickey mouse OS for kids. What a let down! At first glimpse they appear to have removed so much functionality and flexibility that it's lost a lot of it's appeal. I'm sure after a years worth of updates, when my contract expires on the HD2, it'll be worth another look. Ho-Hum. There's just no pleasing some people!

Well looks pretty good to me, nice to see them following on from W7's success, Shots 5 and 6 have a rather large amount of smudges on though...

No just to see what the iPhone 4 is all about then

Looks tempting. Can't wait to see a real working phone.

One thing is for sure - the OS will be more readily accepted by companies than the iphone.

Is it just me or does the abbreviation WPS7 pop out in your head as "Woopsy".

Colour me impressed.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not going to leave my iPhone behind, but Microsoft have done the decent thing and literally scrapped all their old code and started a'fresh. Looks swish. No doubt that like the Zune (snigger...) it won't work on a Mac anyways, so even if I did want one, it wouldn't be possible...

@lifethroughalens - like it or not, this is the kind of functional, integrated, fun and easy to use device that people want these days; the vast majority of people just want their devices to work, and work together at that, it’s nice to see MS understand this now. Android would be your new toy of choice if you want something to tinker on, no?

@Prem - you think so? Integrated xBox live/games, facebook... Is that really what businesses want? MS are surely aiming for personal use here.

@Gorden - are you sure? All other sites list it as Windows Phone 7 Series... as does the official site www.windowsphone7series.com - although it's servers are unavailable at the moment!
