Windows Phone 7 has reach RTM Status

Can't wait to get my hands on a Windows Phone 7 device. The stuff I am seeing about the interface and applications being designed for it look awesome! Full Zune Integration as well as XBox Live and Facebook integration!

Read about the RTM announcement here: http://windowsteamblog.com/windows_phone/b/windowsphone/archive/2010/09/01/windows-phone-7-released-to-manufacturing.aspx

Now I need AT&T and the device manufactures to get the devices out to the public!
