Windows Phone 7 devices are finally available in the United States. The smartphones deliver a unique new design, and many analysts say that they could meet the needs of enterprise IT while pleasing end users. So far, reports say the U.S. launch of Windows Phone 7 didn't go as well as it did in Europe, but as Microsoft points out time and again, there is a lot of time left.
