After many roundabout rumours, it has finally been confirmed that Windows Phone 7 will launch on October 11. It was previously known that a London event regarding Microsoft's would be held, but it seem we will also have a simultaneous event in New York City, with T-Mobile fronting it.
This information involving T-Mobile is new to us, with AT&T previously being thought to be the exclusive launch partner with Microsoft on the upcoming Movile OS, but it seems T-Mobile will be joining them or following them very closely.
The NYC event means that it is very likely we will be seeing the UK and USA roll out handsets at the same times, with the possibility of other countries doing the same.
Unfortunately one bit of information that is lacking that I'm sure many of us would like to know is when the actual handsets with WP7 will be launched. Apparently, devices will be showing up in the UK around 10 days after the events, but we will surely have precise dates once October 11 comes around.
