I'm aware of the rumors, but didn't know the genesis of them. I guess I won't hold my breath either. My contract has been up for over a year now.

Isn't it going to be a UK only launch?

I'm actually sort of interested in Windows Phone. A little. I was hamstrung with a Windows Mobile 6.0, and then 6.5 phone for two years before I switched to Android so there is still a pretty bad taste in my mouth but the new software looks interesting. The issue is the generic-azation of the hardware, the requirements are really restrictive and all the phones are looking exactly the same, even down to screen size so if I want a 4.3 inch Windows Mobile 7 phone I guess I am out of luck.

I'd like to give a windows 7 phone a try.
I ran windows mobile on a touchscreen/stylus slider phone a number of years ago, and it was sheer hell. The phone was just horribly unintuitive.
It had promise, then they just kinda dropped it, or I was unwilling to revisit that hell, don't remember which.
I'm more than willing to try a windows 7 phone, but I'd like to wait a year or two.

That phone looks old school (screen and icons). Decent hardware though.
