Sprint just posted an interesting tweet. The HTC Hero and HTC Moment will both receive their Android 2.1 updates in early 2Q10.
Now you at least know when it’s coming, and don’t have to wake up every morning waiting for a possible update ;)

Microsoft today did what everyone was expecting and announced Windows Phone 7 Series. What everyone didn’t expect, is that they have developed this from scratch. White a complete UI and code revamp, Microsoft has made something different that we haven’t seen before. The UI is unique and looks good, specially designed to be used on a phone with a touchscreen.
Here is what CEO Steve Ballmer had to say:
It’s the biggest launch we have done in the phone space. I think everyone is going to stop and say wow, they are really upping their game. I think we have done a very good job but it’s a very competitive market out there.
Apple has done a nice job. But the smartphones today all kind of look the same. Everybody went ahead and kind of copied the user-interface approach of Apple and people will say Windows phone 7 Series is different, the way we integrated Bing, Office, Xbox and Zune.
Every Windows Phone 7 will come with three buttons on the front: ‘Start’ for quick access to the menu, ‘Search’ and ‘Back’.
We still have to wait for the phones with Windows Phone 7 Series on it until late this year.
