The boys in Redmond aren’t going to be happy about this…After a bit of digging, blogger Dan Ardelean managed to fully unlock the ROM found within the Windows Phone 7 CTP Emulator. As you can see in the screenshots above all [...]
Microsoft just released the Windows Phone 7 Series UI Design Interaction Guide. The Document is a 65 pages guide on how to design Windows Phone 7 applications:
The Windows® Phone 7 Series CTP User Interface (UI) is based off a Windows Phone design system internally codenamed “Metro.” The Metro design principles center on a look that [...]

Changing our Game – an Introduction to Windows Phone 7 Series:
Ok folks, I just got official word from Microsoft France’s Head of Mobility Products, Frédéric Brandt, about the Windows Phone 7 Series Copy & Paste drama:
Original:
« Cette information a été confirmée hier pendant la conférence Mix. Lors de la sortie des premiers appareils Windows Phone 7 Series, il n’y aura pas de copier-coller dans notre [...]
Yes, this apparently isn’t a joke . According to several people attending MIX today, Microsoft revealed that Windows Phone 7 Serieswill not feature a clipboard/copy/paste function when launched later this year. I don’t really know what to think of this other than: “WTH are they thinking?!”. Did the Microsoft rep really say that or was [...]
Microsoft just sent me an interesting press release a few minutes ago. The company is announcing the launch of a Windows Live Messenger handset in partnership with French carrier SFR. The Messenger Edition 251 by SFR is described as the first phone aimed at the youth market. Interestingly this sounds a lot like what MS [...]
Unfortunately Microsoft won’t be able to please everybody with Windows phone 7 Series . The lack of multi-tasking shouldn’t come as a surprise especially given that I (with PPCGeeks) was the first to post the full specs of WP7 more than a month ago (one week before the official announcement, thanks again anonymous tipster..). We [...]
Microsoft’s Joe Belfiore unveiled Samsung’s first Windows Phone 7 Series handset during one of his MIX10 session a few hours ago. As you can see in the video, the phone physically looks nearly identical to the OmniaHD released more than a year ago and seems to feature the same 8Mpix camera (capable of 720P encoding). [...]
It’s finally official; contrary to what HTC’s support team has been saying last week, Joe Belfiore confirmed today that the HTC HD2won’t be upgradable to Windows Phone 7. There isn’t much else to say I guess (looks like 8GB of Flash memory is required to run WP7 alongside 256Mb of Ram). Those of you who [...]
Here’s a short video (from the MIX10 keynote) of The Harvest 3D game shown running on the protoype Windows Phone 7 Series handset:

Here’s how the Windows Phone 7 emulator looks like. The emulator is actually the full WP7 OS running on your PC. So you’ll get awesome debug features. The Emulator will also support multi-touch directly on the PC if the [...]

File this under the unverified rumor but according to some one on XDA-Devs HTC is planning to launch the HTC Touch Pro3 in time for the summer season. The device is said to be smaller than its predecessor which makes me believe that this may be the HTC Tera we have seen a couple of [...]
