14 DAY TRIAL // We all knew that one of the handsets that would arrive on the market during the ongoing year with Microsoft's new Windows Phone 7 operating system would be the HTC Mondrian, but nothing was quite official until now.
Recently, two video commercials with the Windows Phone 7 mobile platform have made it into the wild, both of which refer to the same device running under the new OS, namely HTC Mondrian.
Moreover, it appears that the handset in question, most probably one of the first mobile phones the Taiwanese handset vendor HTC Corporation would launch with the OS on board, is expected to make an appearance in the United States market on AT&T's airwaves. A quick look at the two videos embedded at the bottom of this article (via WMPoweruser), nothing more than the said promo videos with the Windows Phone 7 OS, will show you all the above.
However, what they won't show includes when exactly is the HTC Mondrian set to land on shelves, not the price tag that it would sport when made available at AT&T.
“It’s time for a phone to save us from our phones,” is what the video ads state, showing the direction Microsoft will most probably follow when it comes to the marketing campaign of Windows Phone 7.
One thing that should be noted here is that the two commercials were published by mistake, and that Microsoft already pulled them off the web, though some people already managed to copy them and put them back online.
Hopefully, the Redmond-based software giant won't be fast at asking for these two videos to be removed, and you will have the opportunity to take a look at them.
The Windows Phone 7-powered HTC Mondrian named in these videos is only one of the handsets we should expect to bring Microsoft's new OS to the market during the ongoing year.
Other such devices have been already rumored as being readied for launch, including some from companies like LG, Samsung and even HTC.
