What apparently looks like Asus’s first commercial Windows Phone 7 handset has made an appearance on Twitter today. The full touch screen slab device seems to be made of brushed metal and features what looks like 2 capacitive touch buttons (or maybe the whole thing is clickable similar to the original HTC Diamond) and more conventional home button in the middle. There isn’t much else to say here other than this thing is roaming freely in Pakistan right now.

Asus was also the OEM who build the first Windows Phone 7 we saw publicaly when the OS was announced back in February.
