It’s that time of year again, and everyone has started their lists for the holiday season.
Black Friday sales have already started in preparation for the hoards of people soon to be flooding the local malls and retail markets around the Tampa Bay area.
Windows, in preparation for this upcoming massive increase in sales, has recently released a plethora of new cell phones to cater to every one’s needs.
Released on a multitude of carrier networks, Microsoft has made sure that they are able to get their products in as many hands as possible over the next month or so.
All of the phones are running the Windows 7 operating system, in correlation with the OS for Microsoft computers.
Each have features that will compel even the most simplistic cell phone user to upgrade to a new phone this holiday season, making these phones sure stocking stuffers.
Starting with the Samsung Focus, Microsoft has created a device with a 4” Super AMOLED screen (which means brilliantly clear) and features an audience noise reduction ability to ensure the clearest of phone calls.
This phone is also the thinnest and lightest of all the Windows phones and is available from AT&T for $199.99 with the signing of a new two-year contract.
For the person who is a texting fanatic, the LG Quantum is sure to suit your fancy.
Featuring a full QWERTY keyboard, 16 GB of internal memory, and the ability to share content such as photos and videos to your home entertainment system.
The Quantum is available now from AT&T for $199.99 with a new two-year contract.
Rocking out has never been easier with the HTC Surround which features slide out speakers and a kickstand to ensure no matter where you are, you can party.
This phone is also available from AT&T for $199.99 with a two-year contract. T-Mobile customers will be happy to learn that the HTC HD7 is available and features the largest screen on any Windows phone.
You can also view Netflix content, T-Mobile TV, and use Slacker Radio on the go.
T-Mobile sells these phones, for the same price as AT&T with a new two-year agreement.

Hmmm. Microsoft may intend its Windows Phone 7 to take over, but the reality is that it has become a flop.
The phones are now being sold in the discount bin in stores, only a week or so after launch. It may be a false bargain, though, as you won’t want one of these phones if the Windows Phone 7 platform does not survive.
