First Windows Phone 7 Could Come as Early as September

When Microsoft launched its highly anticipated Windows Phone 7 OS last week at Mobile World Congress, it gave a very vague timeframe for the launch of the first handsets, stating simply that they’d be available in time for the holidays. We could have guessed that ourselves without Microsoft saying a word.

According to an Engadget report based upon a Hong Kong meeting with LG Mobile, the first LG Windows Phone 7 handset will hit the market as early as September. Unfortunately, LG left some room for error in stating that it will launch between September and November. But why even mention the September date (which was already rumored) if it won’t come until November? We’re thinking we’ll see it in September or October.

So you have seven or eight months to get used to saying ‘Phone 7′. [via Engadget]
