t's been more than a month since the Windows Phone 7 smartphones were launched and it has been just a few days since they hit the stores. There are many reasons that would make you think why you should go for this new platform device over Android and iOS devices, but this Microsoft's all-new mobile operating system, the Windows Phone 7 is an entirely different beast to its clunky predecessor, Windows Mobile 6.5. It has features like attractive, fresh and easy-to-use interface, Facebook integration and a full mobile office suite.
