More spy shots from an inventory system and this time it's the rumoured "HTC 7 Trophy". These are again from BestBoyz.de and seem to point to an upcoming Windows Phone 7 device for Vodafone. As to what this "HTC 7 Trophy" is, we're still a little uns...
Remember the HTC Peep issues? Android-powered HTC owners had their Twitter client back on the air just a few days after big Twitter changes but Windows Mobile owners have been having issues for 10 days straight but this morning it looks like everythin...
Microsoft appear to be having a little fun in Seattle with some celebrations to mark the completion of Windows Phone 7. A parade took place around the Microsoft campus with some floats carry the theme of "Burying the competition". Harmless fun? Well,...
If you're a HTC Peep user everything should now be fixed and you can Tweet again. Unfortunately that's not strictly true if you're using a Windows Mobile user. The Windows Mobile version is still giving an error message and, from what we're hearing fr...
In a blog post today Andy Lees, Senior VP for Mobile Communications at Microsoft, has followed up on the earlier RTM announcement. Andy quotes the few sites who got to see Windows Phone 7 in action and states that .. “We know that we face tough ...
Last month we spotted a Samsung prototype running Windows Phone 7. Samsung are confirmed as hardware partners for the new OS alongside LG, HTC, Asus and Dell. However, after Motorola decided not to take part it's a little worrying to see Samsung now s...

Slap bang in the middle of a rather large Apple event came this Tweet from the boys at Windows Phone. The news is that Windows Phone 7 has gone "gold" with the RTM (release to manufacturing) of the OS. There's still some "final integration" to get eve...
Just yesterday the keyboard-less LG E900 popped onto the web. It's a new Windows Phone 7 device with HD video recording, 1GHz CPU and a 3.7" screen. Stick a keyboard on that, shrink the screen a little and you pretty much get this, the LG C900. This i...
More shots of the LG E900 have appeared this morning on android.com.pl. It's apparently powered by a 1GHz CPU (Qualcomm QSD8650A) with GPS, 3.5mm audio, HD video recording, 3G and a 3.7" capacitive screen. Just three buttons sit up front and the "Wind...
We've had a few mails asking about Windows Phone 7 coverage of late and, if I'm honest, I'd love to bring you more news. We're still trying to get our hands on one of these Windows Phone 7 devices that are floating around, but without any success. Her...
Microsoft have a lot of catching up to do in the mobile space, and when we say "a lot" we mean "A LOT". Here in the UK there's only really the HD mini and the HD2 on sale, so we're looking to see a strong line-up appear this …
The HTC T8788 has already leaked out and is destined for the USA. It has a pop-out speaker and will be one of the first to run the all-new Windows Phone 7 OS. Up until now we've not really seen many devices headed for Europe, but this yellow …
More American-bound Windows Phone 7 devices seem to cropping up over on Engadget. This is the HTC T8788 and it's yet another device heading to the American AT&T network, so obviously AT&T are big on their Windows Phones. The T8788 probably won't be ca...
Well, it looks like a desktop somewhere has been photographed quite a bit today. This is another Windows Phone 7 from LG (remember the one we saw earlier?), oh and let's not forget that LG are apparently going to be first to market with a Windows Phon...

HTC and Microsoft go way, way back. HTC are responsible for the majority of Windows Mobile devices. The classic Orange SPV was the phone that kicked everything off here at coolsmartphone.com - guess who built it. Yip. HTC. With an upcoming HTC launch ...
A never-seen-before Samsung Windows Phone 7 device has just been snapped by andrejt. He can't say much about it, other than the fact that it's "a prototype samsung and that's it's larger than your ordinary phone". Whether this will actually make it to...
This video of the new HTC Schubert popped up a few days back but now there's a bit of confusion. Pics from Twitter user Xmoo show the same device again, but with a "HTC Mozart" sticker on. It could be that this is a slightly different version or …

This rather swish looking device is the HTC Shubert. 247WindowsPhone.com have got their mitts on the new handset and they've even got a video preview too. Not much is known as yet apart from the fact that it'll meet the Windows Phone 7 minimum specs (...
We've been bouncing around the web since 2002 and it all started thanks to Microsoft and the Orange SPV. Earlier today we carried a story about the continued growth of Android and, although iPhone 4 sales figures haven't been included, this news story...
Microsoft have pretty much stuck to their "holiday 2010" statement when asked about launch dates for Windows Phone 7. For anyone not in the US, that can be translated at the Christmas / December timeframe. However, in a recent video Microsoft CEO Kevi...
What's this ? Well, apart from the fact that it's a HTC and running Windows Phone 7, we're really not sure. On the back there's an 8 megapixel camera with flash and a new Windows Phone logo beneath. Up front is a 3.7-inch SLCD and 1GHz Snapdragon proc...
Yes yes, we know this is a slightly unfair battle. This is an iPhone 3GS versus the Samsung Windows Phone 7 prototype. There's also someone moving the 3GS pages after they've loaded - I presume that the Windows Phone 7 browser will move while loading ...

The inquest into the death of Kin continues all over the web, with engadget gaining access to yet more behind-the-scenes info. It's a sad tale, with good beginnings but an eventual launch of an unloved, unfinished and untidy product. Microsoft Exec J...
