Title: Windows Phone 7 launch
Time: 9:30AM EDT
More than three years in the making, Microsoft is at long last set to show off Windows Phone 7 on Monday.
What is debuting is actually Microsoft's second crack at Windows Phone 7. The first was a more enterprise-focused device that was scrapped about a year and a half ago when Microsoft decided it needed a much more consumer-friendly approach in order to take on the iPhone and Google's Android.
First shown at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona early this year, Windows Phone 7 is now finalized and will start showing up in devices that go on sale later this month in Europe and early next month in the U.S. (though it won't run on Sprint or Verizon until next year).
Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer, along with AT&T Mobility and Consumer President Ralph De La Vega, have scheduled a press conference for 9:30 a.m. EDT on Monday.
T-Mobile is also set to show its Windows Phone 7 lineup later on Monday and we'll have plenty of coverage from both events.
