Microsoft has just made it official that Taiwanese manufacturer Acer, Japanese manufacturer Fujitsu and Chinese manufacturer ZTE are the new Windows Phone 7 hardware partners joining Samsung, LG, Dell and HTC.Acer and ZTE have been in talks with Microsoft for quite a time now while Fujitsu’s addition was a shock to us all. With the addition of these new OEMs we can expect a Chinese release very soon which would clearly give WP7 a huge boost in the world’s biggest market for mobile phones.
These OEMs shall start supplying phones globally by the end of this year.
