Microsoft is crazily busy right now in preparation for their new Windows Phone 7 devices. But there’s some news regarding the customization of it.

But HTC seemed optimistic in customizing the Windows Phone 7 in a way or another.

Nevertheless, HTC is optimistic about the Windows Phone 7 launch, according to Bamford. “We won’t be able to replace as much of the core Windows Phone experience, but we will augment it,” he says.”
