Ten things we still don't know about Microsoft's next-gen Windows Phones
Microsoft has just concluded its February 15 press conference at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, where company officials showed off a demo unit of a Windows Phone 7 Series phone.
Those of us watching the Webcast got a good idea of the “Metro” user interface that will be on these phones. If you’re a Zune HD user, you won’t have any trouble figuring out the interface, which includes the same “hub” and “pinning” concepts Microsoft pioneered with the Zune HD. We know there is going to be a dedicated Bing hardware button on the phones. We know Version 1 of these phones won’t have support for Adobe Flash.
We also know who’s on the list of Windows Phone 7 phone makers (LG, Samsung, HTP, HP, Dell, Sony Ericsson, Toshiba, Garmin, Asus and Qualcomm) and carriers (T-Mobile, Orange, Verizon, VodaFone, Sprint, Verizon, Telefonica, AT&T and Telstra, among others).
