Wow, this has to be a first. Canada is actually going to get something the same day that my friends in the US get to get their grimey mitts on some new toys.
Yes folks, it is one of those rare moments in time where those of us in Canada who normally have to look on like forgotten relatives as our US counterparts dive in with unboxings and glorious reports of their new shiny objects can actually join in on the fun this time. For it seems that Windows Phone 7 will be launching in both countries on exactly the same day.
This video, via WMPoweruser, is with Microsoft Canada Mobility Solutions Manager Greg Milligan being interviewed by Lazyreviewzzz where Milligan notes:
the Canadian launch will be simultaneous with the US phones, with a line up by LG, HTC and Samsung, available on multiple carriers, unlike it seems the USA. He however also go on to say Dell will be along before the end of the year, with other OEMs to follow in 2011.
Regarding the cost of the phones, as expected they are competitive with other smartphones price-wise, with the phones ranging from $99 to $199 Canadian on the standard 3 year contract there.
