posted Jul 22nd 2010 1:14PM Microsoft is no stranger to having partners galore in the phone business, but its lineup of manufacturers for the upcoming,
surprisingly promising Windows Phone 7 launch is no less impressive. After plenty of rumoring, Microsoft has confirmed that
Dell and
HTC will be making Windows Phone 7 phones, in addition to ASUS, LG, and Samsung who had already been confirmed. All of these companies should have their stamp on hardware by the end of the year, with the launch of the OS still vaguely slated for the "holidays." We have no doubt that all five manufacturers can build some compelling, sexy hardware, but we're particularly enthused to see Dell really getting into the game after the impressive
Streak and that drool-worthy leak
a little while back. It's a good time to be alive if you're a person who buys or uses phones.
