Looks awful and Microsoft have yet again shown their commercial division to be rather hyperactive. What on earth happened to Windows Phone 7? This is meant to be built on top of it but changes the interface and seems to break the desired input their wanted developers to use.

Basically this is not a Windows Phone 7 phone, so why are Microsoft releasing a rival device to the OS they want developers to write applications for? It's already looking weak into that the new iPhone hardware and OS will be out before this hits the UK. There are now endangering that by their usual desire to have a million varying products.

Although I think this is less of a smart phone and more of a device aimed at teenagers, that might be something to do with it.
