Microsoft specifically mentioned how much thought they put into the typography on the homescreen of Windows Phone while they were briefing us, and this just isn&#8217;t the same font. <\/li>\n<li>The e-mail tile reads &#8220;Outlook e-mail&#8221; &#8211; the real tile reads simply &#8220;Outlook&#8221;.<\/li>\n<li>A few of the elements, such as the right arrow indicating that you can swipe to the next page , just aren&#8217;t right. <\/li>\n<li>&#8220;Foto&#8217;s&#8221;? It&#8217;s not the spelling we&#8217;re worried about (We&#8217;re in Spain after all, where it&#8217;s &#8220;Fotographia&#8221; rather than &#8220;Photography&#8221;) &#8211; but note the random and totally improper apostrophe. That panel belongs to Foto?<\/li>\n<li>At least as far as we&#8217;ve been told, Microsoft absolutely requires that Windows Phone 7 Series handsets have Back, Start, and Search keys. The HD2 has the first two, but there&#8217;s no search key to be found. No search key = no certification, and no certification means no Windows Phone 7 Series.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you&#8217;re rocking an HD2 and were gettin&#8217; all antsy about the idea of bumping your handset up to Windows Mobile 7 Series, I&#8217;m sorry if we burst your bubble. Unless Microsoft changes their certification process or someone hacks WP7 onto the handset, it&#8217;s just probably not going to happen.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~at\/URfVIDHqcyNrOJys1MThHoRtM3A\/0\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~at\/URfVIDHqcyNrOJys1MThHoRtM3A\/0\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"><\/img><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~at\/URfVIDHqcyNrOJys1MThHoRtM3A\/1\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~at\/URfVIDHqcyNrOJys1MThHoRtM3A\/1\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"><\/img><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/Mobilecrunch?a=h-axLbma3bU:VOeqKfQf8G4:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/Mobilecrunch?i=h-axLbma3bU:VOeqKfQf8G4:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/Mobilecrunch?a=h-axLbma3bU:VOeqKfQf8G4:F7zBnMyn0Lo\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/Mobilecrunch?i=h-axLbma3bU:VOeqKfQf8G4:F7zBnMyn0Lo\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/Mobilecrunch?a=h-axLbma3bU:VOeqKfQf8G4:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/Mobilecrunch?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This alleged snapshot of Windows Phone 7 Series running on the HTC HD2 has hit our inbox roughly a dozen times already, so I figured we&#8217;d go ahead and clear things up: No, it is not real.
