Windows Phone 7 Series Build 7.0.0.6077 Extracted
While we can’t use it on our devices, it may offer some more insight into Windows Phone 7 Series and may reveal details that Microsoft hasn’t released yet. This build was extracted from the emulator that was released yesterday at MIX10. The build date is March 2, 2010 and it will only run on x86 machines. Maybe, just maybe, someone will be able to port this for our devices, but even if they can’t, it will give us something to watch until the official release.

HTC Touch Pro 3 (Or TP2 Mini) Coming In Q3 2010?
If you remember back in December, there was the T-Mobile HTC leaked roadmap, and on that list was the HTC Tera, which was slated for an April release. Well, it looks like they’re behind schedule, because now rumor has it that it will be a Q3 2010 release and will only have Windows Mobile 6.5 on it. Its rumored to have a 3″ WQVGA resistive touchscreen, dualband HSPA, WiFi b/g, Bluetooth 2.1+EDR and GPS/aGPS. It’s based on Qualcomm’s 600MHz MSM7227 chipset with 512MB of ROM and 256MB of RAM, and measures 115 x 53 x 15.5 mm. So it is definitely smaller than the Touch Pro 2 and also no Snapdragon processor. So, with Windows Phone 7 just around the corner, would you buy this phone? We’re thinking most people will wait for Windows Phone 7 to ship.
