It seems they are using the template for the Zune HD GUI, that by itself is worth notice.

I'm guessing Microsoft is back in the mobile business...

I hope the OS is like Android and sync Business and Social experience together.

I'm glad they started over. It will be successful and even though it has to wait till Holiday season, they should have all the kinks and features of all these other new upcoming phones, especially from Google. I'm actually glad they are waiting so when Apple hits people with their next update and possibly phone this mid-year, they can work around it. I just hope they put the Zune software out as available for Mac computers... :[ I've wanted to switch to a Zune for a while now...

microsoft needs to completely change the UI in order to stay in the game. I hope that they trim the fat off with the release of windows phone 7 (does anyone else hate this name?) so that its not so bloated and runs smoothly.....

Looks like a well polished version of Android. I like it. The video made me want to see more.

I am interested in this. . .I am not crazy about the Zune, but I am willing to play with this and give this a fair chance. This new operating system looks really sharp.cant wait to see more. . .

Have to say this to me seem genius Take a Zune HD experience and make it main stream by building around it with phone, social network, and gaming integration Have to say very impressed and looking somewhat forward to it. unfortunately it looks like its going to be difficult for any backwards compatibility and side loading apps looks like may be difficult but hopefully they will have some of that worked about by holiday season.

The picture for the headline title seems to show the name as "Windows 7 Phone" but it is referred to as "Windows Phone 7". I cannot watch the video from this computer right now. Can someone clarify for me what the true name is going to be?

Not impressed with this. I watched the video and another one over at Engadget, but really didn't see anything that would sway me to WinMo or whatever you want to call it. I am interested to see how the Xbox element will be utilized more, but nothing seems to be jaw dropping. I am still on track to get a Android phone on Verizon when my contract is up for renewal.... I will say that it is a step in the right direction for Microsoft and should have been done three years ago.

I think this phone looks good. However why so long to get it out? microsoft are way behind apple in the phone market. It looks really sleek and all that but thay have no chance of catching up with apple for years and years.

This is good. Will Windows Update actually work on this version?
