Windows Phone 7 Released To Manufacturing

Microsoft reached a significant milestone today with Windows Phone 7 by releasing it to manufacturing (RTM). The milestone marks the completion of Microsoft’s programming changes to what will be the version of Windows Phone 7 that is provided to handset manufacturers. The handset manufacturers now need to finalize their portions of Windows Phone 7 so that they can begin to start manufacturing devices to ship and get into stores by the holiday shopping season.

Developers and journalists have had a technical preview of Windows Phone 7 for several weeks, which was several releases before today’s RTM version.
