Windows expert Paul Thurrott claims Microsoft will release the Windows Phone 7 platform on November 8, and not on October 11 as some rumors are suggesting.
I mentioned on this week’s Windows Weekly podcast that the October 11 date people have been tossing around for the Windows Phone launch was incorrect. (Microsoft is holding an annual event in NYC on that day, but it’s unrelated to Windows Phone.) While I don’t know anything about a European launch, I’ve been told by a very reliable source that the US launch date for Windows Phone is November 8.
