Windows Phone 7 Series, unveiled at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, will be on phones by the end of the year and is a complete rewrite of the Windows Mobile operating system.

not impressed
@sk8rguy4life1123 actually android outsold ios4
Worst mobile os ever
Not sure if Steve Ballmer is good for Microsoft
I love the Zune player
If it has a Zune then this is my next phone. I owned a Zune before I got an iPhone 3gs. I got the iPhone because it had it all in one. But to this day I still use my Zune! I hate iTunes and the restrictions of what you can and can’t put on it. Plus the Zune software is so simple compared to iTunes software that looks like a spreadsheet. The Zune software automatically sees any new music you put on your computer (even if its from iTunes). But with iTunes you have to make the software see it.
#1 IOS4
#2 ANDROID
#3 BLACKBERRY
# WINDOWS MOBILE
it has the style of Xperia X10
This is great and I would love to get one. The only complaint I have so far is the home screen. It needs have the ability to add a background, a completely black background just seems like a big turn off. If they let us add a background and then just let the tiles slide like a glass, I think it would be a lot cooler.
@1Pantikian In my opinion, Windows Phone isn’t directly competing with Apple. They are competing for users who haven’t sold their soul to anyone. Users in the market for an iPhone have already bought it. Same for the EVO, Droid X, etc. The market Windows Phone needs to hit is the ‘undecided’ market, which isn’t that impressed with the iPhone (or any other device).
steve balmer is stupid.
Hate Steve Ballmer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I really hope they come out with the form factor you see in this video. The other phones I’ve been seeing lately don’t look all that great such as the LG ones.
@Gh0stFM neither
@MikeTheShwa zunes were good for people who wanted something that didnt break after 2 weeks
“Every phone will be a zune” – hahaha that’s THE WORST selling point I ever heard.
the interface is ugly as hell, but the animations look cool
2:13 its interesting that it will take all these companies working together to compete with one company (apple)
with search engine, social networks ,xbox live and zune integration this is gonna give the iphone a run for its money
Reminds me of the menu screen you see on the PS3.
Microsoft should be leaning towards a mobile OS that resembles the ever successful Windows OS. It should be Windows, on your mobile.
Even tje iPhone and Android Mobile systems are more like Windows than this and that’s probably why they’ve been such a success.
whens it coming out!!!!? please, anyone?
shit name for a phone this good looking
is it just me is dose Steve sound Like Hank Hill or George Bush ?
I think it’s a great idea, the competition leads to better products, quality and prices. This is the way the world develops, trough war. So I hope microsoft and apple will keep this up, cause if one fails, the other will slow down developing.
