That’s right folks, the previously leaked Windows Phone 7 Asus handset is finally revealed in a 12 mins long video today. I personally think that it looks really nice and a lot better than what I expected after I saw the first leaked picture a few weeks ago. Screen seems to be AMOLED and you will also get to how the current “internal” Marketplace looks like. Also note that the ROM on the device (which I “witnessed” first hands last week) is different from the ones currently in the wild (notice that Bing Maps features the new colors layout..). Video after the break:

Thanks again Jin for the heads up
