Finally Microsoft enter the mobile gadgets OS battlefield showcasing their latest mobile devices operating system. It's called WP7 or Windows Phone 7. Now that's more like it, at least it's not called Windows Mobile 7. Want to know why they've changed the name? From some sources, there was some mismanagement in the Windows Mobile team which has caused them to be reorganized. That had made Microsoft to start from scratch in developing a new mobile platform and now it's called the Windows Phone. That's a little bit of story on why the name is not windows mobile anymore and can explain why Microsoft was late in introducing it's new mobile platform.
Whatever it is, it's official that this WP7 powered devices are already in the market. Latest news from engadget revealed the latest HTC phone on Windows Phone 7, the HTC HD7. The HD7 are pretty much like the HTC HD2 with new appearance on the outside. Like HD2, the most appealing things about this phone is the big size of the screen (4.3 inch to be exact). If you asked me is that important or not, my answer is, definitely!! It will be eye-soothing seeing something so big and clear. So if screen size does matter to you this phone is worth to get your hands on. But unluckily it will take sometimes to arrive in Malaysia. A little bit of this phone's specification:
- Runs on 1 GHz processor
- Powered by Windows Phone 7 OS
- 5 Megapixel, auto focus, dual LED flash camera with HD video
- 576MB RAM and 16GB internal storage
- 4.3 inch touch screen with 800×480 pixels resolution

As for us in Malaysia, we will have to wait as like other new mobile devices, it will take sometimes to arrive here. But Maxis brought a good news yesterday as they will be the first to offer this phone and with that we can expect a contract package like other phones they offered before. Now like what always be the concern, the price it will carry. The predecessor, HD2 priced more than RM2k when it was first brought to the market, even now the price might be around RM1900 (correct me if I'm wrong). So, will the latest HD7 carry a price more than the HD2? Logically it might will as it can be consider as an upgrade for HD2. Now, the question is will any of you would be interested in the new Windows powered phone? Especially when while you're reading this you're holding your Android or BlackBerry Phone or an iPhone4 ;p
