Today, AT&T and Microsoft unveiled 3 new devices to run the new Windows 7 mobile operating system. The 3 include the HTC Surround, the LG Quantum, and the Samsung Focus; and the planned release date is during the 2010 holiday season.
With Windows Phone 7 devices hitting the marketplace, will cellular VoIP become more mainstream in 2011? We already saw Skype's ability to work over 3G on Android phones (albeit with a hack), and it's safe to say this capability will be uncovered with the Windows 7 phones.
On an Enterprise level, will the Windows 7 smartphones encroach on the territory currently shared by BlackBerry and the iPhone? The Windows 7 smartphones will obviously work with MS Exchange and could offer ease of use with an existing infrastructure. Time will only tell.

Microsoft's bound to not have an easy time but we'll see when we can see how much money they can throw at their problems.
windows 7 is pretty awesome
I heard about those! I wonder how good they are!
sounds like things are a changing - hope its for the better
lets see what happens. nice info
these are phones?!
too many fancy phones these days
wow man real interesting! nice post
I hope the MS can drop Apple from their pedestal a bit with these phones.
Cool post, windows 7 is great.
IE. on a phone. good lord.
I just want a better moto droid :(
Well, that should put an end to all the high prices on communications, or at least bring some interesting discussions haha
Some day I will own that.
So sexy.
Awesome post!
my god what will they think of next?
Can't wait to upgrade my phone.
It's about time ATT!
I wonder if it can beat the iPhone . . .
I hope these are good
omg... i think in the end iphone will prevail
Im excited to see where these things go. Im tired of Apple having all the fun, it's about damn time some other companies finally made worthy competitors.
Yeah, Microsoft is not going to have an easy time....
I am not going to lie, they look sexy. One of my exroommates had an htc, although after a while it was bogged down and slow. The battery life is pretty bad when Wifi, GPS, or bluetooth is turned on as well.
im living in the stone age with my 4 year old cell phone!
i cant wait just to hae a damn chip installed in my brain where i can enter teh matrix
ugh microsoft makes some good stuff but not these really..they look like a bit of junk...maybe worth it..ho knows.
windows phone 7 FTW!! man htc are making new phones like hot cakes!
ill take the htc or samsung. screw the lg, all their phones in the past 5 years have ben cheaply made and ast to break
those look so awesome.
i prefered HTC because is the very good similary for the iphone
These look very interesting, thanks for the heads up.
too bad it's att. They have terrible coverage here.
i wanna try one out
CANNOT WAIT, for these to get here!
will be first in line ;)
win 7 ftw
can't wait to get that samsung
I really want a new phone, but it's so hard to choose one considering the fact that new phones keep coming out so fast. As soon as I buy one, it's gonna be considered "old"
THC phone is the best phone actialy:)
Cool!
i wouldn't buy a windows 7 cellphone..
Looks really good, to bad you shouldn´t buy one the first ones but wait for a little bit better model... Quite sure the first ones will be pretty buggy...
those phones really looks cool.
about voip on phones, i think it's useless.
Thanks for your last post. How do you turn off the captcha?
By anyways, interesting post. I hope to see some of these in phone stores soon.
mmm, im still a little cautious
I can't wait for them to release the Google self driving car.
Looks so cool!
Bout time Microsoft got into the phone game... though I'd never buy one on principle.
Oh the win7 phones, they look like a good competition!
Mesty =)
windows 7 best os evar man created
HAHA NOPE IPHONE IS THE BESTTt
interesting read!
The future of communication technology is bright. How I love living in these times.
awesome. still think the iPhone has them all beat
Nice post :)
Hopefully but Im not holding my breath
Beautiful layout.
I hope they dominate the iPhone in every way. Windows 7 is amazing. I don't think I've heard anyone complain about it(as compared to shitastical Vista). I can't wait to hear more about these new phones.
love windows 7
no thanks, windows does NOT belong on my phone.
been there, done that, got the T-shirt.
A lot of countries better sort their 3G coverage for voip.
I like windows seven, so this is good^^
They are interesting, but I'm still very skeptical. I really doubt its going to encroach on iPhone territory, though I wish it would.
cool, dunno if they beat iphone tho
at least its not vista
awersome post
thank for the info ;)
With window 7? Hmm prolly will
Very nice phone!!! Very nice phone indeed!!!
very interesting post
give me voip or give me death
i wonder how good they are, might buy one someday.
I don't think i would buy a smartphone with W7, i'd go for Android for sure.
Wow cool man.
phones are going to be able to do everything eventually aren't they....like tiny computers
hmm we will see.
I just read about this. I can see it getting up there on the ladder, but nowhere near the rungs of the iPhone
im not quite sure that squeezing so much in a tiny package is always a good idea
Would get an android over win 7 phone still.
seems nice with windows 7
who needs this anyway? i get my windows 7 crashed all the time :(
hmm these phones look good
Cool shit.
i like windows 7, but not sure i want a phone with a brand new os...
That should greatly increase the flexibility of the Smartphone.
I love the look of these but I don't like teh windows OS on a smartphone. it's cumbersome.
I just use skype as it is on my iPhone so I don't think it's that big of a deal, but yeah windows 7 on a phone? im in.
Win7 on smartphones will be a great enhacement to the smartphone industry... It's like we have a laptop =)
nice... god i love technology:)
android > *
Does this mean I can get a cheap smartphone, without service, and just use Skype over wireless?
Heh, now our phones can blue screen too!
Looks like a sweet phone
lets see how this obile version is this time around
:D loved the post, keep them up!
gonna have to get one!
would be cool to get Voip to be more of a common feature on phones
did i just see xbl?
Not sold on these yet. Gotta see one in action.
I don't liek them D:
would love to try winfosw 7 mobile, i just got an iphone
Thanks, I was looking at this phone the other day.
That phone looks like it bleeds gnome and shits double rainbows.
yeah... uncle Bill is going on!
can't wait to try 7 mobile
Coolio!
I wanna try out winmo7 hands on sometime!
These Windows Mobile phones are jokes.
Great post.
i wonder if the iphone os will ever go on other phones besides the iphone
I'm really curious to see how these work!
* sigh * ... I have a samsung eternity on ATT (lil bro to the omnia) ATT doesnt consider it a 'Smartphone' as they have locked the software down too much and i cba to hack it. I will admit I lvoe my $15/month unlimited inet but i so want a W7 fone :<
I think it's too little too late for Microsoft.
Just got to wait and see how well they work.
Honestly, im in love with windows 7
windows 7 is amazing imo
