Spain on board with Windows Phone 7, Toshiba still in the game?

September 24, 2010 | By Surur

The Economista reports from sources close to Microsoft that the southern European country should be seeing Windows Phone 7 handsets on launch day on the 21 October 2010.

According to ElEconomista handsets should be available from all the big carriers in the Spanish market, including Movistar, Orange and Vodafone.

The handsets will initially be from usual suspects HTC, LG and Samsung, but they expect a second wave of handsets from Dell and also, intriguingly Toshiba.

Toshiba was one of the original launch OEMs, but not much has been heard from the company since. Hopefully a recent mention indicated handsets running the OS are still on the way.

Windows Mobile remains a popular smartphone operating system in Spain, still holding around 11.9% of the market according to a recent survey, making it the second biggest mobile smartphone OS next to Nokia, and it will therefore hopefully also be a market where the new OS will see a lot of traction.

Good morning Surur. There are just too many unknowns for people to react to every little piece of news they receive surrounding this release. Especially the one's in America. The fact Toshiba is releasing with Dell in Europe should be interesting enough for folks on both sides of the Atlantic to remain engaged and excited. I don't think we've seen all of the devices that will be launched in Oct. and shortly after and I bet someone is gonna leak pics and specs of a couple of must haves shortly.
