I have to say, the Windows Phone looks really slick
Windows Phone was announced today, and I have to say, I am impressed (if demo videos are anything to go by). It looks really slick, and at least graphically, it makes the iPhone look like something from the last century. Now, if it can only match up the iPhone on usability and ease of use, I am definitely going to consider getting one.
Head over to http://www.windowsphone7series.com/ for demos and general buzz. Notice that they want to call it Windows Phone, and not Windows Mobile 7. They are going to be very strict with manufacturers on the phone specifications (a leaf out of Apple’s book, I guess). Here are a couple of screenshots to get you started.
