Microsoft have started their marketing campaign by showing a video advert at a one of cinema showing last week.
I’m not sure if we will see this same advert appearing on our TVs but as you will see below the phone displays the words ‘The Revolution is coming’.
Will we all be dumping our iPhones, Android and BlackBerry smartphones for a WM7 device? I wouldn’t have thought so, straight away at least, but you never know.
We will have some hands on time with Windows Phone 7 in the coming weeks so stay tuned for some video.

The concept of the Motorola FlipOut is most definitely an odd one. We have had sliding Qwerty handsets for years now and this one just kind of warps the traditional style a wee bit.
As you would have seen in Matt’s demo video the FlipOut highlighted some screen issues but does this make it a bad phone?

Carphone Warehouse has launched a 14 day coverage guarantee – the first policy of its kind to offer exchanges or refunds on new products where network coverage is inadequate.
The new coverage guarantee will allow store managers to refund any new product where consumers report coverage difficulties at home or at work rather than relying on computerised coverage maps to sanction refund policies.
Matt Stringer, MD of Carphone Warehouse, said: ‘Some customers have reported that they can be put off switching network operator because they are worried about bad reception in their home or office. With the Coverage Guarantee we’re leading the way in giving consumers the confidence to choose the network deal best for them, secure in the knowledge they can change if necessary.’
Nice work CPW!

Project Sword is a forthcoming 3D game on the iOS platform and if you saw the Apple press conference this week you would have seen how amazing it is. Epic Citadel is a demo of the game and is in the app store right now. Available on the iPod, iPhone and iPad it sure gives a nice insight to the future of 3D gaming.
Check out the video below and if you fancy giving it a try head over to the app store and download it. It’s free.
Orange and T-Mobile customers in the UK will be able to roam across both networks from 5 October.
Everything Everywhere CEO Tom Alexander said:
“We see this as a step change for Everything Everywhere,’ said Alexander, speaking at the first year anniversary of the merger announcement between the two companies.”
Virgin Media has slashed tariffs on the Blackberry Curve 8520 in a bid to corner the student market and reward Virgin Media customers.
The company is offering the Blackberry Curve at £12 per month on a 24 month contract but students with an NUJ card will get a further 15% a month off the deal.
Existing Virgin Media customers with home entertainment services are also targeted, getting the Blackberry Curve on a 24 month contract for £10 per month.
It was only a couple of weeks ago that we told you that the popular game ‘Angry Birds’ had arrived on WebOS. Now you can go and grab the beta in the Android Market.
Being beta it is going to see changes but in the meantime it will give you a tonne of fun.
I must warn you though. It is very addictive so you may want to wait until you finish work.

The BlackBerry® Curve 9300 goes on sale today in store and on Three.co.uk
This great value Smartphone has an easy-to-use QWERTY keypad, fast access to email and social networking and supports Wi-Fi as well as 3G.
The Blackberry® Curve 9300 features a 2.0MP camera, built in GPS and geo-tagging, so you can show your friends where in the world you are. A dedicated media key means that music lovers can easily access their tunes while on the go.
Well I wasn’t expecting this. Kevin from crackberry.com has announced that the forthcoming BlackBerry 9670 clamshell will be part of a new family name – called Style.
I was personally expecting this one to fall into the Curve family.
Not sure if we will see this one here in the UK as it was tipped for being on the Verizon network in the states. Will RIM produce a GSM version as well? Who knows but I can see this one being more popular over the pond if I am honest.
Let us know what you think of the device and its new (and slightly strange) name over on the forum.
