More Windows Phone 7 details surface
Information about Microsoft's Windows Phone 7, and on two smartphones using it, continues to emerge, some of it gleaned from hacking, demonstrations and from the growing experience of developers exploring the radically revamped mobile OS.
Coders at XDA-Developers.com hacked the ROM for an un-announced HTC smartphone, called Mondrian, with a Windows Phone 7 software build, though it's still referred to as "Windows Mobile 7". Microsoft released a Windows 7 phone emulator for developers in April, based on the latest released build of the underlying operating system.
From the ROM's contents, it appears that Mondrian could sport a big 4.3-inch Wide VGA screen, with the 480-pixel VGA height but a width of 800-854 pixels. HTC already uses WVGA on a range of its smartphones, as the 480 x 800 HTC HD2.
