Twitter, Facebook, and the rest of the Internet went crazy at around 7p.m. Eastern (Oct. 20) when the embargo was lifted for Windows Phone 7 reviews. We’ve been digging through the blogosphere to gather as many OS and device reviews as we can, in order to list them all in one convenient post for you, the readers.
We’ll update this post often as we find more reviews (latest reviews added to the bottom of each category; see bottom of page for latest revision date). Feel free to comment with any we may have overlooked or strike up a discussion below. We’ll also feature this post at the top of the homepage for convenient access. If you’re on Twitter, please retweet this post. You better grab a sandwich and put your reading glasses on, Windows Phone 7 is here and it’s being put through the gauntlet as we speak. Oh, and please partake in the poll below.
