\"\" Today, the Microsoft Windows Phone Team has announced that they have released Windows Phone 7 to Manufacturing. Back in July, Microsoft released a technical preview.<\/p>\n

Windows Phone 7 is Microsoft’s next generation of mobile operating systems, set to replace Windows Mobile 6.5, complete with new branding a name change to Windows Phone 7. The name change is both to move it forward version wise, as well as to tie it to the success of Microsoft’s Windows 7 on the desktop and laptop platforms. Windows Phone 7 features a new interface, a new browser, and a more coherent design through the OS. It will also feature a better software update process.<\/p>\n

With the Release to Manufacturing (RTM), this marks the integration of the software with the final phone\/mobile device hardware that manufacturers and mobile\/cell phone network providers will be releasing to consumers later this year.<\/p>\n

On the Windows Phone 7 blog, they mention the testing it went through:<\/p>\n

Windows Phone 7 is the most thoroughly tested mobile platform Microsoft has ever released. We had nearly ten thousand devices running automated tests daily, over a half million hours of active self-hosting use, over three and a half million hours of stress test passes, and eight and a half million hours of fully automated test passes. We\u2019ve had thousands of independent software vendors and early adopters testing our software and giving us great feedback. We are ready.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
