Previously Apple and Google have given their employees phones from their company, and it seemed that Microsoft will be following their footsteps. Well at least those Microsoft employees using iPhone will have a new phone that they can actually ‘use’ when working. But then, that’s a lot of Windows Phone 7 to be given out. Time to grab a post in Microsoft perhaps? By the way, this leaves only Palm the odd one out, which didn’t give their employees any free phones. Perhaps HP would consider this.

With all the buzz, a lot of you are asking how you can get your hands on a phone and get more involved. So, I am thrilled to announce that a new Windows Phone 7 will be made available to every Microsoft employee as we launch in each market around the world. The process will vary based on your market, your carrier, and your launch date so stay tuned for more information closer to launch.
