Windows Phone 7 models announced. But will they blend? Posted By : exsmith

Half of these were from HTC itself, showing that no love has been lost between these two companies. Dell, too, plans on going main stream in the mobile department with its Venue Pro (with the much more interesting codename lightning).

Or will it end up becoming yet another Vista for MS?
