You probably haven’t seen the official release of Windows Phone 7. However LAPTOP, a mobile-technology magazine recently published an article about “25 Most Innovative Products 2010″. And among those products, Windows Phone 7 was selected as the 4th position of the list. The Apple iPad and HTC Evo 4G is on the first and second position. Another famous names including Layar, Dell Streak and Samsung Galaxy are also listed.
According to the LAPTOP’s staff, this list is not just about the gadget but more about what you can do with it even sometimes it’s not a gadget at all. And the Windows Phone 7 is selected as the result of Microsoft’s hard efforts to rebuild their Windows Mobile OS from the scratch as a new platform. Here’s what they said about that,
Reinventing yourself isn’t easy, yet that’s what Microsoft did with Windows Phone 7, its slick new mobile operating system. Microsoft took its aging, stodgy Windows Mobile OS, reserved mainly for business users, and built something new from the ground up. The end result: an intuitive new platform that pushes the user—instead of apps—into the limelight. For example, Live Tiles are squares on the main screen that show constantly updating information, such as friends’ social network statuses, that you can move around. In addition to its compelling panel-based interface, Windows Phone 7 packs a full Zune player and can play Xbox Live games. Plus, key apps such as Facebook and Pandora will be easy to access without having to jump in and out of dedicated programs. Look for the first of these phones around the holiday season.
Well, i also have seen so many great impressions of the Windows Phone 7 recently. However still few months to go before we can see the official release. So, at the moment let’s congratulate Microsoft and their Windows Phone team!

I am a existing Omnia (910) user on Verizon who was very disappointed with Windows Mobile 6.1 and Samsung’s shell. Wound up buying SPB Mobile Shell to acquire a usable interface and had to abandon Exchange email due to security restrictions. Essentially anytime you tried to location or receive a call, you had to enter your PIN and I was missing calls as being a result. As a final point decided to abandon smartphones for the time getting (economic reasons) and wait for an excellent Android device. The Galaxy S (Facinate) should fit the bill. Disappointed to hear on the GPS troubles. Let me add that Verizon’s 3G service was exceptional throughout and I eventually stopped making use of WiFi simply because V3G was a lot fast enough for me.Interestingly, I’m using the Omnia as being a wireless product all around the property for checking e-mail, Twitter, Facebook and uncomplicated browsing. But not as a mobile phone!
