Woah. We weren’t expecting that. After (slightly) taking the mickey out of the “windows Phone 7 Series” name here at coolsmartphone they’ve only gone and dropped the word “Series” !
We always thought that it was slightly cumbersome to say, “Hey, have you seen my new Windows Phone 7 Series.. phone?” Now it’s a little shorter, although we’re still going to find ourselves saying, “It’s my Windows Phone 7 phone”. We like shorter, punchier names, so nice one Microsoft for making such a quick decision.

Microsoft end the "Series" before it even began
