UK carrier's roadmap points to October 21 release for Windows Phone 7

October 9, 2010 | By Pradeep

In just two days,Windows Phone 7 devices will be announced date officially. Still WP7 device leaks continues.

The latest leak is a roadmap of a UK based carrier. The roadmap specifies October-21st as the launch date which is pretty good, as devices will be announced on Oct-11th. Also it states 4.0 inch AMOLED screen which likely indicated it will be a Samsung device, as the company is not supplying AMOLED screens to OEM’s such as HTC anymore in any real quantity .

Other important information revealed is that, there will be around 2000 Applications at launch which is a pretty good number, considering the Windows Mobile Marketplace still has to pass 1000 in UK.

What do you think? Will you be satisfied with 2000 applications? Comments are always welcome.

I will be more than satisfied. My current list of things I'm going to try includes Earthworm Jim, Rocket Riot, Max and the Magic Marker, and O.M.G. There's another game by Project Mango but I don't know the status of that one yet. And I guess I'll grab a twitter app if it's priced well (read: low).

Earthworm Jim!? Woah, where did you get info for that one? Can't wait! Does anyone know status of battlepunks, btw?

Sharkaat

Can't believe I overlooked it myself. Tnx mate!

Doesn't matter, as long as that are quality apps. Just few more days until revelations…

Sharkaat

True…very true.

Hi there. For some reason you are triggering the spam filter, but I have now added you to the ID white list, so all should be OK from now on.

I can say 200 good quality apps is better than 100000 junk apps (like "fart app").

So 2000 apps (if they are good quality apps) at start is really a good start.
Diego!

Is that Samsung Omnia 7???

I can't wait for WP7 gets released in my country! A new avalanche of phones is coming

Yeah my country got a working Video Marketplace now in Zune. Still no music or apps though. And it is still missing the Smart DJ option, which doesn't make any sense. Switching my PC location back to US…. sigh
