Without a doubt, Windows Phone 7, now in version 7.5, is the best mobile operating system on Earth. Leastways, as of today.

With #wp7 as it is known, Microsoft has created a holistic platform that encompasses a fluidic symphony of hardware, software, a marketplace, and services that is unmatched in its intuitiveness, performance, and general pleasure to use.

Coupled with the effort put into it, #wp7 is now offered by the four major US mobile telcos, and more design wins are announced and delivered daily.

If you mix in the unprecedented and excellent snagging of Nokia as an OEM partner, with Nokia choosing to go all in with Windows Phone, you now have a product that has the potential to not only get better, but raises the bar by having non other than the Number One manufacturer of mobile phones in the world firmly behind it.

For 2010, the then-new Windows Phone 7 was our Product of the Year. We are proud to see that that choice was right, and now, Windows Phone has started to move squarely into the minds of consumers. This time with the might of both Microsoft and Nokia behind it.

O, did we forget to say we LOVE it?
