Remember the Samsung GT-i8700? The phone we saw a few days ago in wild. Gt-i8700 is an upcoming Windows Phone 7 powered phone by Samsung. The phone seems a WP7 powered Galaxy S to me, and it looks like a strong phone too. May be this phone is not for American residents, because the phone recently passes through GSM Global Certification Forum, and the radio bands are showing that the handset is UK bound. So we are going to see this handset in a few months on a UK mobile carrier, and we have to wait for an American version to come.

Another phone passes through the GSM Global Certification Forum, which is manufactured by Toshiba and known as TG03. Rumors has it that the phone is powered by WP7, which means that Toshiba has also joined the WP7 bandwagon. But it could be a WinMo 6.5 powered phone, but I don’t think so Toshiba is going to consider on something old, Android is also possible though. So I hope Toshiba will clear it soon.

    Toshiba and Sony Ericsson were on Microsoft’s original list of partners (the list was released in February 2010).

    However, neither seem to be putting much effort into Windows Phone 7, even though Deutsche Bank says that Microsoft is paying the R&D costs of OEMs who want to make Windows Phone 7 handsets.
