XDA member ElCondor has a few nice startup animations (including the HTC Brilliant one) but I just installed the Windows Phone 7 Series one myself. It’s a simple cab install, reset and it’s there. Looks great.

The Auri Group is getting ready for MIX10 and hopefully come back with a lot more details on WP7 and its development. In order to get the most out of it, they’re trying to put together an informal party.

WP7 Coming in October?
on Microsoft’s Windows Phone 7 site states that the release date of WP7 is “Holiday 2010.” I just want to clarify what that likely means.
