Windows Phone 7 first commercial is finally here. This suggest that the device will arrives anytime soon. In the commercial, it mention the revolution is coming. It’s not necessarily pointed out to the phone market in general but also for Microsoft internally.

The commercial theme ad is quite unique; they used Lawrence of Arabia. It begins with a complete silent in the dessert, then from far away the device move slowly toward the screen looking more and more clear. At the end, you will see the device’s screen shows “the revolution is coming” in delicate handwriting. The commercial didn’t shows much information about the device but it’s pretty decant commercial. Unlike DROID X or Samsung Galaxy S ads which come with a blast of story line and music, WIndows Phone 7 has their own twist that eye catching to the audience.

Check out the video and hope you like the commercial.

Samsung Galaxy Spica Reaches Canadian Soil

Back when the T-Mobile G1 launched for T-Mobile USA, there was a lot of speculation circling Google and their little green Android. Was it going to be a success? Would anyone even care? Considering that the G1 didn’t make that big of a splash on the consumer side of things, it was a pretty much unanimous (with some nay-sayers mixed in for good measure) vote that the G1, and the software powering it, was a game changer. At least, it would be. And now, since the launch of the Motorola Droid on the Verizon network, we’ve seen that change in perception, as the Android revolution continues to spread. The newest target? Canada.

Rogers, one of the largest wireless carriers in Canada, has just received their latest Android-powered handset. Not HTC built this time, the Samsung Galaxy Spica is a 3.2-inch, 320×480 capacitive touchscreen device, running (unfortunately) Android version 1.5. There has been word that the device will be upgraded to 2.1 eventually, so if you’re looking to pick up an Android phone, don’t let the 1.5 version hold you back too long. 2.1 is coming. If the rumors are true. It’s also got a 3.5mm audio jack, 3.2MP camera on the back, and a 2GB MicroSD card sold with the phone.

As is standard up in the Great North, a three-year deal will get you the device for $79.99. It jumps up to $349.99 on a two-year deal, and if you’re one of those people who hates contracts, it’ll be a cool $449.99. Not bad for the out-right price (if you don’t look at the software version), but we’re guessing that many Canadians out there are going to enjoy their three-year plan. Anyone up there going to go check out the Galaxy? Let us know!
