Editor’s note about the Video: the demo was done on a vertical monitor, I shot it in portrait, you may have to turn you screen to watch it more comfortably.

[SXSW] Microsoft launched Windows Phone 7 at MWC in Barcelona and we saw the demo there, yesterday, the Microsoft representative at SXSW showed me a demo and I videotaped it, so, you can check it out. Windows Phone 7 is still in beta mode and the user interface is similar to the Zune HD’s one is based on tiles that are visually appealing and friendly to the fingers. I like the design and the ease of use, the organization of the users’ goods with tiles and “hubs” brings most of the user’s notes access at the top level (the phone home page).

While Microsoft has made it known that that most Windows Mobile 6.5 handsets won’t be able to construct the upgrade jump to the Windows Phone 7 Series, there is still a small trick left – relying on the beta version of a Windows Phone 7 theme for Windows Mobile. Getting your game on is pretty simple by downloading and installing a .cab file, where among the features made available will include Live tiles with rotating pictures, a Bing search utility with a background that will change to match the Bing picture of the day, as well as a program launcher which resembles the Windows Phone 7 Series/Zune HD app launcher. Don’t expect that to be refined since it is still in beta mode.
