Windows Mobile 7 w/ Zune to Debut at MWC, Will Use Nvidia Tegra - zune phone - Gizmodo

MuyComputer claims that Microsoft will present the Zune Phone this February, at the MWC in Barcelona. According to them, it's 100% confirmed. The Zune Phone will use Tegra, and Nvidia will team with Microsoft for the presentation.

Talking to the blog editorial director Javier P?rez Cortijo?and, full disclosure, long friend of mine?the Zune Phone presentation is 100% confirmed.

MuyComputer says that the Zune Phone will have a 480 x 272 screen, HDMI out, weigh around 70 grams, and use Windows Mobile 7. This strong rumor seems to be inline with the mention of three phones in the Zune software last week. [MuyComputer]

Funny part is I didn't even know the Zune still existed :p

Looking for a reason to leave AT&T - I was thinking the Nexus One on VZW would be a good reason, but there's something about a Windows phone that intrigues me.. I know I should know better, but.. I keep getting sucked in.

Any Windows phone users here? Likes/Dislikes?

Unless they have improved windows mobile a LOT, I wouldn't drink this kool-aid. It's still a ways off too, and another question is who will be getting it. If it goes to AT&T that could serious screw Verizon, but I don't think that will happen.

The Zune HD is actually very nice. The MS music store still sucks though.

The picture depicting the new "Zune Phone" looks like past versions of Windows Mobile in the same way Angelina Jolie looks like Roseanne Barr.

Microsoft to Introduce Windows Phone 7 Monday at MWC - Windows phone 7 - Gizmodo

With Windows Mobile 7, similarly, Microsoft has gotten more involved in hardware design by creating detailed plans for a small number of handset "chassis" on top of which hardware manufactures can build their devices, people familiar with the effort said. The idea behind the plan, these people said, is to limit the wild variation in quality of Windows phones and to make it easier for independent application developers to write software that runs well on them.
