Hey everyone,
Just letting you know of something I found at work. It's a HTC device called Mozart which looks like it'll be a WP7 device and to be sold pretty soon.
I can't seem to add the image though because I'm a new user. Ok I've added it in now

Well, can you upload the picture somewhere else and post a link? URLs aren't allowed for new users either, but you can post it in an "h t t p: / / something.com" format.
It's an HTC Desire with a very bad photoshop'ed WP7 home screen on it... You can still see the Android Home screen on the left ...

Yea... wtf??? Was this just someone's cruel prank or someone at telstra just being lazy in lieu of not having an actual "Mozart" device picture?
Dunno, could be anything. But that picture is NOT a WP7.
Perhaps someone in the marketing department quickly whipped it up? Not exactly a telling leak anyways - we know HTC is building WP7 devices right?

HTC Mozart is a real Device.
Its going to TMOUS that is one fact, Telstra is new to me, but very likely.

I do understand that no-one would want to believe me because I have no rep. or real hard evidence. Only this document from Telstra. I agree that if you look closely to the image it looks dodgy, but I wouldn't expect a telecommunications company to create a fake phone name and image. Again, I completely understand that it would be hard to trust me with this.
This is the only info I can find on the device on both the net and at work. Hopefully I'll be able to find some more info on it

I believe that your pic is real but there's no way that the phone is a graphic/picture of an actual HTC Mozart WP7 device. It doesn't have the right buttons and you can see the android home screen to the left of the WP7 home screen. It's not unlikely that the rest of the info (name, pricing, street date, etc) is legit (and conflipper backed it up) but the phone image definitely isn't.

Yes, that is what I meant in my first post. Don't take it wrong, OP, we do trust the picture is real and that some kind of WP7 "Mozart" is coming, but that device is not the Mozart. Sorry for not being clear
Keep us posted if you find anything new!

I used to work for Vodafone connections in the UK and they're always making 'mock-up' images until the official release is due. They used to use images from existing phones and change some of the screens/buttons on the images.
Similar to how HTC seem to have the image for the Touch HD in the Mondrain ROM but with different buttons.
Yeah I agree that picture is definetly not what the device is going to look like if it's real. That looks pretty sketchy to me, but I'd love to see a WP7 device hit TMUS ASAP!
The pic is fake, but I think the phone itself may be real
Telstra were slated to be one of the first carriers in Aus with Windows Phone 7. This could be the first?

According to this site:
- Multilanguage
- Ultra fast for an early build (I quote : "So fast that it looks like on WM 6.5 the Snapdragon only ran at half its power")
- TomTom is bundled with that ROM
- No SMS problem (They are referring to the SMS issues on WM 6.5 on most Leo ROMs)
- Zune part of the phone is not working on this ROM (error reports, etc.)
For the time being, no source/link to a ROM is provided, I'll keep you posted. But it doesn't seem like a fake to me.

That's what I figured as well at first sight... But then I saw that every tiles is translated in Dutch, as well as having a Dutch operator... I guess time will tell.
I apologize beforehand if this turns out to be fake, I thought I'd share it to everyone here.
it seems real to me i guess. i believe that the rom might not b working cause the os is not even half ready right now. its just that MS had to show something so they made a simple mockup jus to fill the presentation yest. lets see how thingsgo now and how much they grow this concept of windows phone 7 series..
If this is not fake, leaked Windows Phone 7 roms will be soon over the internet

No need for apology. You found a good and interesting site...
I think the good news there though, is that 'applications' still live on (TomTom) so the whole multi-tasking issue could be a non-issue as long as stuff still work in the background.
And at the end of the day it is running on top of CE6, so multitasking should be there, even if it's tried to be hidden away.
the background image ... dunno ... oddd
easy to fake and just display as an image
Some guy on a dutch site tests devices for htc. He hangs around, also on xda, as "xmoo". He stated dat htc is running WP7 on a hd2 somewhere in taiwan.
So it is definetely possible to run it on a hd2, I think soon there will be roms available with WP7 here on xda.
There's no reason to doubt that an early build has been made to run on the HD2. If there's any existing commercially available device that could be used as a test bed that that's it. Unless everyone working on WP7S gets prototype hardware to use, it makes sense to test it on the HD2.
Of course, that's a long way from assuming that the final version will be released for the HD2. (But then again, that's what this site is for. )
Call me crazy but maybe they'll announce a beta rom available for the HD2 at MIX or maybe later this year at TechEd? Similar to how Google had an unlocked G1 for devs and Apple allows devs to have beta builds of the iPhone OS?
MS knows that apps/hubs are going to be key for them so they'll be keen on getting it out to as many people as possible as early as possible. It's hard to write software, particularly 3D based software, solely in an emulator.
this is fake.
the show is in spain but the image says he is connected to T Mobile NL (dutch network).
everyone knows when u go to another country u use there networks not your home network.
It looks fake. The font on there is definitely not Segoe, which is used all over the Zune HD's and WP7's UI. Also, I don't think there's a background on the start screen, no?

They've never shown a background before but I would be sorta surprised if it didn't support having a background.
Looks like the same font to me...
This picture definitely isn't taken on the MWC. It must have been made in the Netherlands as you can see that it is connected to a dutch network. This would either indicate that developers do indeed get early builds to start development of software, or it is fake.
Now it would seem reasonable to release the software on a currently existing device which is capable of running WP7. This would be the HD2. This way developers can start creating and running software on the platform.
Fake or not, it is only a matter of time before developers should receive a build to tinker around with. We all know how important Apps are for the platform to work. I was however expecting them to receive those in a month.
WinMo.nl says that it's an early build of WP7, so that could explain the differences.
And the differences makes it even more possible to be real!
Anyway I'd love it to be real.

Since tom has posted this, most probably its real. And he is planning to release beta version soon.
What do you think is it real? If so it is a very good news for hd2 users.
Note:- I resized the pic so that its clearly visible.
if you consider that the HD was at first a WM7 test device.
and now HD2 is a MS Test Device. I would not be suprised at all to see this released.
Just because something is not getting an "offical" release does not mean anything.
I am not sure if XDA knows what the words "official release" means.
well pretty sure we knew it wouldn't be official but a test rom is EXACTLY what devs have been looking for since this debacle actually began
I can't wait for the release and that means the touch hd2 actually looks like a winner for me as the first wp7s device
but some questions
can one flash back to wm 6.5 or are we stuck
some more questions but good news time to blog!
I'm thinking this is legit. I was holding off on buying a HD2 but if this gets released, I'll be running to the nearest T-Mobile store.

What the hell? That's supposed to be the interface of WP7s? With those gigantic font sizes? One word per line?
What's the point of having 800x480 pixels if you use 60-point fonts? 5 lines of agenda per screen? Will it be able to display one calendar month in a single screen or will you only be able to look at 4 days at a time?
This is an interface for short-shighted people?
Hell, fortunately the people designing Windows 7 does not think that the people purchasing computers are 5-year old children, or 85 year-old. That is scared by more than 5 lines of text on a screen or having to think where to put their files.
I'm not going to purchase a new phone that is a tamagotchi for 5 year old children. Use have been using computers at home for 20 years, we're in 2010, not 1984...

Might be sensible to hold off from overly wild celebration just yet - I believe that if we do choose to flash it, there is no way back due to some fundamental changes in the bootloader.
Personally I'd be interested to have a look at it if I knew I could get back to something tried and tested again. Still, I'm sure the good people working on it will figure out a solution if we give them time and space.
I just hope it doesn't turn into an 'xda special' - a bunch of impatient ingrates hassling the developers to release it and then accusing them of being con artists if they don't do it in a timescale that suits...

Sadly, I won't get it til general availablity and I don't know which phone. Microsoft peeps are still being cagey with it. The guy wouldn't even let me take a pic of a LG WP7 device even though it's been all over the internet already. The only real new info I've gleaned is that they will support basic exchange policies like pin unlock and remote wipe. Still going to try and fenagle some more info out of them.
WTH? Congratulations!!
cool can i have it?
Congrats!.........
Depending on what they say, I might just get a HD2. The WP7 device is supposed to be general availability and they might make devices available before then and I'm not willing to wait.
niceeee
thats lucky and awesome!
Remember to colaborate with XDA and help WP7 become more awesome .

After having seen it in person, the whole OS is rather impressive. While it may not on paper be the #1 phone OS, it is rather good and will put up a good fight. Oh and they've only shown off around 70% of the OS's features. More positive info will come to light as we near launch.

I think I've always been relatively positive about the new OS. While some of the new restrictions are annoyingly restrictive, I don't think it'll be a problem for us. In one of the sessions today they showed off how devs will be able to unlock phones and it was just a desktop app that talks to the store. I can easily see this app being modified to just not talk to the store but I'm betting there will need to be more done than this. So while I still wish MS would open up the dev platform more, I somewhat respect the decisions they've made and I don't think it will be hard for the rest of us to have phones we can do as we wish with.
It was stated earlier in the week by one of the members of the WP7 team that only 70-80% of the OS had been shown off up to this point. However, after going hands on with a device for a while today, I didn't find much that we haven't seen yet. The whole thing is fluid and is super intuitive. It really is a joy to use. So I'm not sure how much is left to unveil but it seems rather useable today. But none of the WP7 guys that I talked to are using it full time yet so that's kind of telling.
nice... congrats... HD2 is still better looking then any of the WP7 phones we've seen... the only one that beats it is the prototype images of HD3 made in photoshop lol... dell lightening comes close, but hw keyboard kills it as well... just get the HD2, then u'll have to option of running 6.5 or android (90% possible so far) and prolly even wp7 when it comes out since it conforms to all specs ...
Pics or it didn't happen!
Jeeze. Necro thread!
I ended up deciding to wait for a WP7 device. The HD2 they had was a european model and couldn't do 3G here. A smartphone without 3G is useless. So I wait til October like everyone else. But at least it will be free.

Not all the specs, AFAIK the chipsets in the HD2 do not conform to all the hardware specs that Microsoft has made for Windows Phone 7 compatibility. Things like the hardware image scaler for example are not present in the HD2, nor is support for hardware acceleration of the VC-1 codec.
For those who might be interested. I was one of the 50 lucky winners in the ongoing WPAPPITUP student developer competition, and was promised a Mango phone about a week or so ago. To my surprise I arrived home to find a package from Microsoft waiting for me.
Open it up and I find my self a brand new unlocked HTC Mazaa, running Mango 7.10.7720.500 .Here is a screenshot of the about page

It's roughly the exact same as the one in the pictures that were released here back in April. The only difference being some kind of identification number that is etched into the bottom left hand corner.
First impressions the phone is fast, whether it just be the new Mango build or the phone itself I'm not entirely certain. But it runs circles around my HD7. On the same note comparing it to the HD7 it's a lot smaller. It also only has 8gig of internal not upgradable internal memory, which doesn't really cut it for me. However, beggars can't be choosers, and I'm glad to have the phone either way.
The real question is what to do with it. Tmobile was so kind to send me 2 free HD7 s just a few weeks ago for upgrading my plan (my Mom has the other one), which other than the speed (which may or may not be a related to the build of Mango I'm running) seems superior to this Microsoft test phone.
This leads to a few questions:
Developers, do you find it necessary to have more than one phone to test your applications on?
If I decided to sell this phone, how much would it go for? Where would be the best place to sell it?
If you had an extra WP7 phone what would you do with it?
It seems like details about this phone have been shrouded in rumor so if there is anything that I can clear up let me know
if you can post some pics of the phone and a comparison with the hd7.
Well, something I see that hasn't been said is that this is an MSM8655 device... another words, 2nd gen 45NM Snapdragon with the Adreno 205. So, how much faster are we talking? My Focus is pretty damn snappy as it is. Also, what's the battery life like?
Interesting. It's a true Mango release device.
more pictures and descriptions in detail is appreciated, perhaps a video too?

I was adressing him (and you) as a HD2 owner. If you love the platform you might as well support it, there are phones available sim-free unlocked for under 180€.
As for the request, Microsoft knows all the Mazaa owners so I wouldn't advise any of them to take the risk to extract and share the ROM just to please the modding community (yeah I know this is XDA, why are you here, bla bla bla).
I would not sell this phone if I were you. It likely has a gyroscope, something your HTC HD7 does not have.
Could you please tell us before you sell you htc mazaa what has been improved since Mango Beta 2, is the speed of ie9 been raised by 50 fps?

PEACE!!!
If I were you, I'd definitely sell my HD7 because of the hardware improvements to the Mazaa and you'll always be able to test some app on your mother's phone before releasing it just to be sure - but I wouldn't think there will be much errors if both get the same update after all.
But very much so, I'm sure all people around here are very eager to know if there are any (interface) changes or additions in the RTM build! I don't know about any Microsoft issues if you'd tell. I think you yourself know your agreements best by entering that competition . I think XDA would gladly feature some article about it if you'd be so nice to write one!
there is no more ebay link here!
How about running WPBENCH on it so we can see how it compares to the HD7
Why are there not better pictures of the actual device yet?
I can only speak on the selling part. Obviously the best way to sell would be ebay, because it's currently a rare phone and the first with a 2nd gen snapdragon (and maybe a gyroscope), I would guess you could get $400 to $500 for it.

How about the fact that the dropdown at the top of the forum still says "Windows Mobile Devices" instead of splitting WinMo and WP7. Go ahead, click it and see how the WP7 devices are waaaaaAAAAY at the bottom. Or the fact that they only have forums for 3 of the 7.5 handsets up so far, and it took them FAR too long to do even that much?
Not sure, but I thought WinMo is what breathed life into XDA. Now Microsoft is the pariah and Android is the new favored child.
I for one, embrace our new android overlords.........

Or the fact that they only have forums for 3 of the 7.5 handsets up so far, and it took them FAR too long to do even that much?

Just at quick glance I don't see the Lumia 710, Focus Flash, nor Focus S. I certainly don't see all of these: http://www.liveside.net/windows-phone/
Well, it's been pretty obvious by the pattern of moderating these sections that XDA really doesn't care about WinPhone and worships Android. I've been criticizing this site's approach to this section for months.
Indeed. Admins, please resolve the logo issue.
I'm going to contact the image creator to get permissions, and then I'm gonna contact "svetius" to see if he'll change the image, should be a simple image replace.

Ok criticizing does almost nothing but what else could we do?

I highly recommend against this, if the other mods realize there are WP7 forums they may try to move them to the same site as the iphone forums.

Sent you a PM
All the logos for the Windows Phone 7 devices need to be changed. Even the Titan and Radar have the old WinMo icons instead of the newer icons that the WP7 launch devices currently use.
They should all use the new red square logo really, or at the very least, the original green round Windows Phone 7 icon.
We'll update the logo.

It looked weird at first but now I kind of like it, the old one was way too bland.
Its Simplistic
