EDIT, November 20th, 2009. Windows Mobile 7 will actually be officially announced at the MIX conference in MARCH of 2010. I can only assume that Ballmer will give us a release date for WM7. Getting exciting boy.
It’s a little too easy to say that Windows Mobile 7, Microsoft’s little secret, will be here “soon”. That’s not soon enough!
The fact of the matter is, Windows Mobile 7 won’t have an official, official date until late 2010. Most likely October. Why? Because Microsoft can sit back in their comfy recliners and throw us release dates all day. But they’ve already changed Windows Mobile 7′s release date twice (it was pushed back because of 6.5 and then again for unexplained reasons).
Keep in touch though and don’t lose hope. Microsoft is determined to make Windows Mobile 7 a success, says CEO Steve Ballmer. We know Microsoft won’t leave us consumers out in the wind.
All I can say is that the Windows Mobile team has admitted defeat in the Smartphone market share arena. They are going to take as much time as they need in order to be sure they have their big corporate foot in the door.
that is a good thing, they better get it right, make it better than android, etc.
I hope so, i want to upgrade
any updates to this article… i’m losing patience. iPhone
as well? even a hint of when they plan to announce the release date would be nice.
I’m in the market for a new phone, and it’s either going to be this or an Android phone – and I only plan to hold off buying the phone if I know when WinMo7 is coming out.
To be honest, the only real appeal I see with it (with the limited info MS has given us – and ignoring what will obviously be on the phone), is that I can link it to my Xbox live, Zune and MS live accounts.
The main question is if windows will actually catch up to every other OS by adding japanese and chinese font on the new phones. i mean it’s sorta sad they it’s taken this long. and how will i use an international phone by them when i can’t even read certain fonts?
I’m buying a new phone as well, thinking of either waiting to see how good WM7 will be, if not good enough i will get an android based phone….hope WM7 is released soon.
Can anyone tell me the release date of windows mobile 7 and cost also.
dude eveyone is waiting for that…
to whoever this may concern
Will WM7 at least be released this year 2010? thats all i want to know. is that so much to ask?
thanks
bill gates ceo of microsoft
I do not like touch screens as much as I like a mouse like the Samsung Omina I. The mouse is more accurate for me when navigating or using features of programs like playing musics files or movies.
