PCWorld: Windows Phone 7 Vs. Android And iPhone
PC World looks at Windows Phone 7 devices launched yesterday and compares their specs to key devices using rival operating systems.
“Microsoft on Monday introduced a portfolio of smartphones based on the new Windows Phone 7 operating system to take on the iPhone 4 and the Android army. Of the ten new Windows Phone 7 devices, six will be headed to the U.S. market: AT&T will have the HTC 7 Surround, the LG Quantum, and the Samsung Focus; Sprint will have the HTC 7 Pro; and T-Mobile will get the HTC HD7 and the Dell Venue Pro (aka Lighting).
The phones will arrive in the United States on November 8 (except for the HTC 7 Pro, which will arrive in 2011) for around $200 a pop (with a two-year contract, of course). Now that we know the specifications for these smartphones, we can pit them against category titans Apple iPhone 4 and Motorola Droid X in our traditional smackdown.”
