The first Windows Phones go on sale today in Europe. Today tons of Windows Phone 7 reviews hit the web that analyze everything around WP7. We have scanned through the masses of reviews and highlight the most interesting ones below. We already featured the Walt Mossberg Windows Phone 7 review, that is not all too positive. The most common verdict of the Windows Phone 7 is that it is a great start, but still behind the iPhone iOS and Android. Since it is Microsoft we can expect that they have the resources to get the missing Windows Phone 7 features implemented soon.

Engadget has published a very in-depth review of the Windows Phone 7 that covers almost all bases including dedicated reviews of the Windows Phone 7 phones HTC Mozart, . Their verdict is that Microsoft is about 1 year behind Apple and Android.
