EDITOR’S NOTE: This article is part of MobileTechWorld’s historical archive. Mobile technology has evolved dramatically since this was published. For our latest coverage, explore our Latest News, Reviews, and AI in Mobile coverage.

It has already been widely reported that the current Windows Phone 7 retail experience (going into a store and asking to buy a Windows Phone) is abyssal in many carrier stores around the world. To help Microsoft “fix” this issues, Robert McLaws a former Microsoft MVP has just started a blog totally dedicated to this problem. Everybody from around the world can now submit and share his retail store experience and even pin-point the exact store location on Bing Maps.

This site aims to fix that. Windows Phone Tattletale is taking the fight to the streets. We want reviews, good and bad, about your experiences with Windows Phone 7 at retail. Was the display in a visible location and working? Did the salesperson seem knowledgeable about the phone? Were you able to actually experience the phone? We want to know. We make it easy for you to add the store, and rate it. We’ll take care of making sure that the carriers see it, and maybe they’ll be embarrassed enough to fix it.

Just head over here to share your experience!

Thanks for the heads up Brianna
