Windows Phone 7 Faces Identity Crisis

Microsoft confirmed weeks of rumor and speculation by revealing that it will, in fact, launch Windows Phone 7 on October 11. A joint event held with AT&T, and possibly T-Mobile, will unveil the Windows Phone 7 devices although they're not expected to be available until sometime next month. Microsoft may have a hard time making Windows Phone 7 rise from the ashes of Windows Mobile and succeed while trying to straddle the line between business and consumer smartphone.
