Rumour: Windows Phone 7 hitting UK ‘Early October’
Achievement unlocked
Microsoft’s upcoming game-friendly mobile operating system Windows Phone 7 could be with us in early October, if Pocket-Lint’s sources are correct.
The website’s source, who is apparently “on the inside of a large electronics firm”, says the operating system and a fleet of devices from Asus, Dell, HTC, LG, and Samsung will be available to purchase in early October.
Apparently, Microsoft has already pencilled in the date at an earlier speech. Back in July, at the Microsoft Worldwide Partner Conference, Microsoft COO Kevin Turner mentioned that the phone will hit the UK in October, and the US in November.
Windows Phone 7 features a whole heap of games borrowed from the likes of Xbox Live Arcade and the iPhone app store, and jacks in to your Xbox Live profile to dole out achievements and match up with pals.
