Windows Phone 7 Series Features Video

nothing like old windows mobile?

Hmm.. i kinda prefer the looks of the older one hahahaha.

We know that Microsoft is getting more stringent on its hardware specs for the upcoming Windows Phone 7 Series devices. The software superpower is changing its business approach to the mobile market and telling phone makers to conform to its regulations.

Now it sounds like there will be three basic chassis to which phone makers must comply, according to a Microsoft Australia podcast first spotted by ZDNet’s Mary Jo Foley.

So, what do we have to look forward to?

First, there’s the chassis that is expected to launch along with Windows Phone 7 by the holidays. We’re talking big touch-screen phones with no keyboard, like the HTC Droid Eris or the Apple iPhone.

Second, we’re looking at touch-screen phones with a sliding keyboard, like the Motorola Droid or the HTC Touch Pro 2. And the third – well, the “Frankly Speaking” podcasters didn’t say much about the third form-factor.

Microsoft keeps saying it will unveil more specification information at its MIX conference next month. That’s where we’ll ostensibly find out whether Windows Phone 7 will have backward compatibility – whether Windows Mobile apps will run on the new, Zune-based operating system.
