Phew – finally we’re unveiling the awesomeness of Windows Phone 7 Series. I won’t add to the constant barrage of immediate reflection but you can find the press release, and videos from MWC here.

From the press release:

With Windows Phone 7 Series, Microsoft takes a fundamentally different approach to phone software. Smart design begins with a new, holistic design system that informs every aspect of the phone, from its visually appealing layout and motion to its function and hardware integration. On the Start screen, dynamically updated “live tiles” show users real-time content directly, breaking the mold of static icons that serve as an intermediate step on the way to an application. Create a tile of a friend, and the user gains a readable, up-to-date view of a friend’s latest pictures and posts, just by glancing at Start.

Every Windows Phone 7 Series phone will come with a dedicated hardware button for Bing, providing one-click access to search from anywhere on the phone, while a special implementation of Bing search provides intent-specific results, delivering the most relevant Web or local results, depending on the type of query.

Other stuff you should have a look at (for starters):

• @inafried interview with Andy Lees
• XBOX Live and Windows Phone 7 – quick mention from @majornelson
• This excellent MIX 10 offer – still a $200 discount to be had.
• This Engadget piece: “Windows Phone 7 Series is official, and Microsoft is playing to win”
• And of course – Charlie Kindel’s (@ckindel) new blog.

Did we mention the XBOX Live and Zune integration?

Roll on MIX 10.
