I have seen screen shots, and watched hands-on videos provided by the various tech sites, and I like what I have seen so far, other than the somewhat ridiculous naming convention. The Windows Phone 7 Series isn’t set to release till the 2010 holiday season, and Microsoft plans to ,”[take] more accountability”, in terms of user experience, by having more stringent requirements that OEMs will need to meet.

Rather that blab on about information that is so readily available (go and google Windows Phone 7 Series), I’ll just provide some links to good articles here.
