Microsoft has announced a global rollout of Windows Phone 7 smartphones. Nine new WinPho 7 handsets will be available this holiday season from mobile operators in the United States, Canada, Europe and the Asia-Pacific region. The devices are being made by Dell, HTC, LG and Samsung. All of them will run on the Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, Microsoft said. In addition to offering standard Windows Phone enterprise capabilities such as support for Microsoft Outlook and Exchange, WinPho 7 includes consumer features such as a so-called people hub.
