Microsoft Confirms Manufacturers For The Upcoming Windows Phone 7

We've all heard so much about the fabled Windows Phone 7 over the past few months, but all we've seen are the interface. As Apple can tell you, the design is just as important when making a phone. Microsoft have announced their bevy of partners who will be manufacturing the phones to harbour the upcoming OS.

After the initial ASUS, LG and Samsung, who were pretty much confirmed; Microsoft added HTC and Dell to the lineup of manufacturer partners. I think this lineup looks quite exciting as we know all the companies to make sexy, lust worthy devices. All of the companies will have their phones out by the end of the year if all goes well.

I really have some hopes for the Windows Phone 7 to shake up the smartphone market. I can't wait to see the actual OS in action in say a sleek HTC Legend style phone, coupled with a SUPER AMOLED screen. I may just jizz.
