Microsoft Philippines and Smart Comm. are teaming up to bring a slew of Windows Phone 7 devices to the Philippines this holiday season. First stop is the HTC 7 Mozart which will be available for pre-order starting Friday.
In a release sent this evening, Smart will be doing a road-show starting this week-end to showcase Windows Phone 7.
The HTC 7 Mozart is a 3.7-inch (480×800 pixels) Windows Phone 7 powered by a 1GHz chip, 8GB internal storage, 576MB RAM, 512MB ROM and 8MP camera that can do 720 video.
Be among the first to get hold of the Windows Phone 7-powered HTC Mozart as Smart Communications, Inc. kicks off the Smart Gold Rush “12 Thrills of Christmas†road show on November 19-21, 2010, at the 3rd Level, Eastwood City Mall, Libis, Quezon City.
Pre-order your HTC Mozart at Smart’s Gold Rush “12 Thrills of Christmas†and avail of special discounts and receive exciting freebies offered only this holiday season!
I’ve asked for additional information as to pricing of the prepaid kits as well as the postpaid plans that come with it. From the statements on the release, it looks like the only way you can make the pre-orders will be at the roadshows only. I wonder if people will also be lining up for this one.
Will post updates and details once I get them.

Pasawsaw. Not really crap but I think Apple is just very good in advertising, they make old technology sound like new and they’re really good in it. Nowadays, ang isang gadget lagyan mo lang ng “i” it will surely sell like hotcakses hehe. Unlike WinMo phones before na hindi gaano advertised, na kokonti lang nakak-alam about Windows phone, yung mga real techy lang talaga. What was the first phone na touchscreen? A WinMo phone. Yet not everyone knows about it….then came iPhone and Steve Jobs…ayun everyone came running to iPhone :) When the first iPhone came out, the technology used there was already being used for many years by Windows OS phones….they just repacked the technology in a nicer package and then came iPhone :) Sabi nga nila, if you want to look techy but youre not really techy, get the iPhone….look kahit sino naka-iPhone…makikita mo naman hindi lahat ng naka-iPhone mayayaman hehe. However, if you are really techy and you want a real techy phone, get a WinMo or an Android phone :) Some people dont base their phone acquisition by the price…I can afford the most expensive phones out there but I prefer a realy techy phone. I want a phone na pag hiniram ng iba, ibabalik sayo kase kamot sila ng ulo at nagtataong “papaano ba gamitin to?” hehe. In fact, hindi naman nagkakalayo ang prices ng iPhone sa mga WinMo and Android phones di ba?
Pero the best talaga ang Android…next to WinMo hehe. Peace bro :)
@weh dinga?
apple products are crap?! are you serious? last time I checked, everyone tried to copy their UI and hardware, Nokia’s popular Symbian lost traction in the market (due to Android and iOS continuously dominating), Palm hired Rubinstein and even windows was pushed to reboot their mobile OSes to say the least. Meego is coming, but i just don’t care anymore. I can place hundreds of reasons here why they are better than the competition, at the moment.
How many developers have made apps for iOS again? i think it’s more than 300T. So what does that tell you? I am an apple fan pero a certified android (2.1)user and an iOS user. Be objective at hindi lang dahil namamahalan ka sa isang bagay gagana na ang defense mechanism mo. peace :)
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery
mag-Android nalang kayo! hehe. My last WinMo phone was the HTC Touch Dimaond 2 running on WM6.5…wala naman ako problem kaya lang gusto ko maiba naman since 1990s pa ako naka-Windows (starting with HP Jornada and then XDAs)….then recently I shifted to Android on HTC Desire. Ayus na ayus mga sir/maam…try nyo. Its the same as WinMo din…you can tweak, customize, cook and flash custom OSes, etc etc….lalo na cooking and flashing OSes…andun parin yung kaba, then the feeling of success hehe. Besides, their forum is in xda-dev forum din…the same forum as that of WinMo OSes.
oops sorry baka off-topic na :p
wow. another windows mobile o.s. naalala ko pa yung windows 6.0 ko na moto q. after one year ng pag gamit, di ko pa rin na master ang sobrang complicated na menus at file systems. sana nag improve na sila.
@Dino sorry, I don’t buy Jobs’ craps :))))
let me just clear out what I posted.
….yun nga lang, di kasing dami ng WinMo 6, ang madami kasi sa WP7, bugs. bug sa interface, bug sa xbox integration, bug sa memory card, bug sa pag zoom in sa webpages, it seems like Microsoft wasn’t ready to release this phone OS, they’re just hyped out by iOS, Android, BB OS and Symbian (which sucks, too btw).
naputol eh :)))) sorry
@weh dinga, you must be an iPhone lover hehe
@Randolf @John
Well, you just busted your nuts dahil as early as now, nagsusulputan na ang viruses for the WP7 platform. yun nga lang, di kasing dami ng WinMo 6, mas madami kasing bugs.
kayo ata ang di nagreresearch, Windows and Symbian will both be OSes of the past. pasensya sa inyo. go to other gadget review/news sites, hindi yung sa wikipedia ka lang nakatingin.
@jessjr….sir we are talking about Windows Mobile here…not Windows for desktop. Have you used a WinMo phone before? Yan ang hirap sa iba eh criticize agad di pa naman naka-hawak hehe. Ive been a Windows OS user since the XDA days and I didnt find any of those issues you mentioned. Baka wrong forum ka sir? hehe. Ang alam kse ng iba dyan Nokia lang…yung “user-friendly” na phones pero pag Windows or Android OS na magugulo na isip nila hehe peace bro..
Anyway….Windows 7 is indeed new….I cant tell also if its better or not than the old WinMo OSes. Lets see…
@Randolph:
Akala nya ata kasi Windows 7. LOL.
This is Windows PHONE 7. :)
@Randolf
Wag ka nang mahiya. Tukuyin mo ang pangalan para hindi blind item. Parang nasa Startalk lang ang pagpaparinig mo eh.
Bago sana mag criticize yung ibang tao dyan, alamin nyo muna pinagsasabi nyo.
Ayan:

para malaman ng ibang tao dyan.
Hope its not exclusive to Smart. Looks freaking sweet to pair up with my Legend :-D
Windoze? Bloated OS? Virus? Malware? Security issues? Nothing sounds new! Like IE9 this is a trash with a new shinny wrapper.
Is this using the Samsung pentile screens?
Most people dont know that many new phones with 800×480 resolution uses Samsung’s pentile screens which is interpolated resolution as it is not true RGB.
A RGB based resolution of 640×360 is bigger than pentile resolution of 800×480 – go figure.
Well, that’s quite true. But for Windows Mobile users, let’s see how well this will satisfy them as an upgrade to WinMo.
sobrang dami pa ng limitations ng wp7.
wla multitaskng, copy paste, bluetooth file transfer, mass storage mode..
but nvrtheless, ok sya kung hindi naman masyadong techie ang ggamit. astig ng ui!
hmm.. wp7 cp are coming.. i dont like lang yung “scrabble tile” like u.i. nya, but lets see!!…
like iphone os, symbian, bb os and android, ang magdadala talaga ay yung mga apps hindi yung unit…
Nice.. Looks like Smart is loadin’ lots of Xenon flashed-smartphones. First was N8, next is Mozart.
for those in davao, i’ve seen tekpone is offering this at P27,490, 0% interest for 6 months.
