AUWP7

There have been several countries that have been left behind when it comes to second generation Windows Phones. Canada is now confirmed to get 2nd generation support from Microsoft, by receiving the HTC Radar, Nokia 710 and 800. That left Australia as one of the larger countries still remaining without any 2nd gen. devices. With device marketshare dropping as well as a slip in mobile browser marketshare, Australia will be getting the shot in the arm they so desperately need to positively reflect the currently small and slow international growth trend of WP. Fortunately for WP and Australia, the arrival of the 2nd generation devices has marked an immediate increase in both statistical markers across Europe. With an Australian market hungry to be unpdated to 2nd gen. devices, WP should see an improvement in sales with 2 new models on the way. Read on past the break to find out which models, where, and when…

Nokia have released the Lumia 710 in the U.K., with the handset going free on contracts of £20.50 per month on a 24 month agreement with Vodafone, see links below for Nokia Lumia 710 on each carrier in the U.K.

Vodafone have started running this TV Advert in the UK, I have yet to see it on TV, but as many of you may (or may not) know, I hardly watch TV, I tend to watch archived tv shows and use my 360 as my media center.

The short advert is a funny take on needing to spend hours swapping contact details from one handset to another, and with Vodafone Red Box, you have your contact details swapped for you in-store.

Today, whilst wondering around town, I decided to go into the Vodafone shop (Vodafone is the network I’m on) & ask them when they would be getting any Windows Phone 7 devices in.

They told me that it just so happened that they had a WP7 representative in-store just earlier today, showing them about it. The guy I talked to said that when someone comes in to show them a phone like that, they tend to get the phone/s arriving within a month, which in this case coincides with the rumored October release date of WP7.

I then also went into an Orange & a T-Mobile store.
Orange said they were getting in some devices next
month & had seen the same representative earlier,
but T-Mobile hadn’t heard anything.

No one seemed to know anything specific about which devices would be appearing,
but one guy did mention that something to do with Acer. Ive not heard anything about any Acer WP7 devices yet, but it looks like they are still in the game!

October cant come too soon.
Plus it’s my birthday on the 18th…    ;)
