At London, Microsoft unveiled 9 Windows Phone 7 handsets.
From Left to Right, Top to Bottom, these are the following phones:
- Dell Venue Pro
- HTC HD7
- HTC 7 Mozart
- HTC 7 Surround
- HTC 7 Trophy
- LG Optimus 7
- LG Quantum
- Samsung Focus
- Samsung OMNIA 7
All these 9 phone run on 1 GHz Snapdragon processor from Qualcomm. These phones are built around 480 x 800 pixels WVGA displays. These phones will start shipping in parts of Europe and Asia on October 21st and the U.S. on November 8.
Microsoft’s CEO, Steve Ballmer said that in today’s busy world, people are spending more and more time with their heads down looking into their phones rather than interacting with the people around them.
As such, one of the core features of Windows Phone 7 is a new Start screen with something called Live Tiles for highlighting a user’s personal content. These customizable and configurable squares of data siphon real-time updates from the Web — such as news, appointments or the status of friends — and present them at a glance on the phones’ home screen.
One feature that won’t be present in Windows Phone 7 devices at launch is Copy & Paste, which Microsoft promises as part of a software update in early 2011.
AT&T has already announced 3 WP7 phones coming on it’s network. These 3 include the HTC Surround, Samsung Focus & LG Quantum. These are coming for $199 with a 2 year contract in the U.S.
