So, I take it that there's going to be a 'little' focus on games, huh? ;-)

That's a lot of content for application development. I hope it confirms my expectations of a "No backward compatibility" mode for a new UX.
Considering the current market share and loss of popularity for WM, now is the time to cut the cord and bring a modern UX API on top of the already decent WinMo kernel.

This looks great. Will this resolve some of the real usage issues I have had with Windows Mobile (HTC Fuze):

1) I travel out of the country and need to turn off the data connection due to high cost. Will I be able to easily do this on WP7 and will all apps be forced to respect this? On WM many apps the data connection seems to turn on by itself due to apps trying to connect and costs me $$$.

2) Will it be easy to turn on/off/change bluetooth devices while on calls. For example, switching from headset to car bluetooth and vice versa, or turn on bluetooth to send call to car audio without getting into accident. Or easily and quickly switch between speakerphone (I assume there is one) to headset to normal while on a call.

3) Will it drop calls less often than WM?

4) How does locking\unlocking work? For example, I keep my WM phone in my pocket and when I get a text message the phone unlocks to show me the message and starts pressing buttons.

@Dan - these are my answers/opinion not anyone elses.

1 - International calls & data is extremely expensive anywhere in the world, whatever phone you have. The OS will not connect by itself... but its not Microsoft's fault if badly written apps do.

2 - This is already supported well with WM, so I'm assuming they try to repeat it in WP7

3 - Again, this is not a phone problem itself, 99% of the time its the phone network while the other 1% could just be remaining battery capacity or the phone is unable to find your network on the frequencies your phone supports.

4 - The 'lock screen' appears to shows you the number of missed calls, number of sms/mms, emails etc so you don't actually need to unlock the screen.

For people with disabilities it is extremely important that this phone has easy to program text to speech(SAPI), the same as used with C# in a regular PC.

Such a let down. So many mistakes in the presentation, it makes such a big difference to prepare properly. If the presenter who has worked on the product for so long still makes so many mistakes, how many mistakes do you think an average user is going to make? Totally depressing and the only time the audience clapped was when he mentioned that active sync is gone. The device still lags for goodness sake. What's happening with this company?

For goodness sake Microsoft, cut down your product line and just focus on a few products and make them all great. You're trying to do too much and as a result, all your products suck.

I've got an app idea for the "I Need This App" contest as well. Mine's for a POV app. Would be really useful and fun to have developed. Please vote! http://tinyurl.com/wp7POV/

I'm sure they'll get this right, right? I mean their reputation for creativity and innovation is so rich, right?

The only delay in the release of this software is MS waiting for new features in the iPhone and Android to copy.

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Problems problems problems, what a LAME company!
