Microsoft is in a delivering mood. Just last month they took out hundreds of Xbox 360s to E3 attendees — moreover sent one to the TechCrunch office for no particular excuse. Now they are going to be delivering away Windows Phone 7 handsets to every Microsoft worker, if we are to assure what we read on Twitter.
We freshly got our hands on a WP7 unit and put up our in-depth imprints of Microsoft’s new mobile OS, and our decision is careful optimism. But moreover if it were the hottest thing we had ever seen, Microsoft would just be in a pickle when it arrives to finding these things out there. Providing away something like 90,000 phones ought to assist with that.
I find for a fact now that I am going to be looking these around Seattle — there is not room to swing a cat in this city without delivering a Microsoft worker a mouthful of hair. This little act of munificence (maybe costing MS somewhere around $2-4 million, depending on costs) also serves as a sort of beta program, I am certain — if they purpose on rolling this thing out in one piece, testing at scale is extremely important.
Really, it is uncertain when these handsets will create it into the hands of Microsoft’s myriad workers (nine myriad, to be precise), but the whispered October release date getting closer every day, so I’d guess soon. Feel free to comment or hit the tip line if you are at MS and find more.
