When you're the face for all of Microsoft, it would've been hard to see Bill Gates sporting anything but some kind of Microsoft powered device. Without a doubt it isn't any KIN or Windows Mobile handsets, but instead, Gates is currently using a Samsung Focus as his primary handset of choice.
After he recently posted a picture using his Twitter account, it didn't take too long to look down at the EXIF data to figure out what device he's using. Although the Windows Phone 7 powered smartphone doesn't go on sale until November 8th, Gates of course is getting ahead start on all of us – but we suppose that's some of the perks of being Microsoft's top dog.

We have to say that the handset is a fitting choice if you plan on taking some great looking photos and videos – and that's probably why he decided to side with it over the other offerings.
