Windows Phone 7: Not long now

Microsoft’s highly anticipated Windows Phone 7 is set for release very soon as the mobile OS reached the release to manufacturing stage, it was announced. According to Mashable the device is being tipped for an October release, although there is no official date. Next month is the most likely time that the phone will make its arrival, after being announced earlier this year.

Some of the confirmed features and specifications of the WP7 include multi-touch screen and an overhauled UI. The Operating System is able to integrate with Facebook, XBOX Live, Bing and Zune which will be a very useful and appealing feature to many potential buyers.

It has become apparent that unfortunately the WP7 will not have the copy/paste function and also multi-tasking which is used by the iPhone 4. The new model is Microsoft’s attempt to regain ground on its competitors such as Apple and Google who have been very successful in the smartphone market. Time will tell if the Windows Phone 7 is up to the task, but I am confident that it will be well worth the wait!
