This really is a completely new OS -- and not just Microsoft's new OS, it's a new smartphone OS, like webOS new, like iPhone OS new."</em></p><p><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/wpt/auto/1266244468.usr1.jpg" style="border: 1px solid #d2d2bb;" /></p><p>The guys at Engadget had a chance to get their hands on a Windows phone 7 device before this craziness started this morning, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/15/windows-phone-7-series-hands-on-and-impressions/" target="_blank">and it's worth a read</a>.

So I've been hearing chatter for years that Windows Mobile Standard is going away / merged into one OS......I'm assuming that has finally occured with Windows Phone 7?

That's not necessarily it bad thing....it all depends on the new OS. Just clarifying that, for better or worse, it's finally about to occur.
