Microsofts Windows 7 Phone Revealed
T-Mobiles entry in the Windows Phone 7 race—the HTC HD7—was temporarily sold out Monday.
However the phone, which features a high-definition display and 16 GB of built-in memory—appeared to be back in stock as of early Tuesday.
The demand is a good sign for Microsoft, which needs Windows Phone 7 to be a hit if its to get back in the smartphone race against Apple and Google.
Gartner predicts the release of Windows Phone 7 will help bump Microsofts share of the worldwide mobile OS market from 4.7% in 2010 to 5.2% in 2011, but says the companys share will ultimately fall back to just 3.9% by 2014 as competitors Apple and Google continue to gain steam with the iPhone and Android, respectively.
AT&T Wireless is Microsofts primary launch partner for Windows Phone 7. The carrier is now offering the Samsung Focus and HTC Surround, both for $199 with a two-year contract.
The devices also require a minimum data plan priced at $15 per month in addition to standard minutes charges. AT&T also is offering no-contract versions of the phones for $499. It subsequently plans to introduce a third Windows Phone 7 smartphone, the LG Quantum.
T-Mobile, the other U.S. carrier for Windows Phone 7, is selling the HTC HD7 for $199 with a two-year contract and minimum, $15 data plan. T-Mobile also will launch the Dell Venue Pro at a later date.
T-Mobiles backlog notwithstanding, consumers best bet for getting their hands on a Windows Phone 7 device quickly appears to be the carriers themselves. Best Buy is only advertising the HTC Surround as coming soon, while Amazon is already hawking the LG Quantum, but notes the phone is on a back order of eight to nine days.
Windows Phone 7 devices, regardless of manufacturer, will deliver a common user experience based on an interface Microsoft calls Live Tiles. The tiles, six in total, allow users to quickly access calling, social media, messaging, photo, e-mail, and personal applications and services. They also deliver real-time information to the main interface.
