Windows Mobile 7 err Windows Phone 7 Series is just over the horizon which means talks over what the first devices to have the phone will be. Well, if rumors are to be believed Microsoft will be doing what other handset manufacturers are doing (read: Apple) and limiting the operating system to just one device at launch.

There’s pretty much no official word on this device but it’s codenamed Chassis 1 and supposedly features a touchscreen, 1GHz processor and a dedicated graphics chip. This leads us to believe that Microsoft would then go on to release the Chassis 2, 3, 4 etc. after the first device hit.

If this rumor pans out, it would be a radically different approach to Microsoft’s handset business. I like the sound of it.
