Developer XNA Game Studio Sean Hargreaves (Shawn Hargreaves) wrote in his blog that future phones on Windows Phone 7 will support the resolution at only 480 × 800, but the lower 320 × 480, which will install this OS on a cheap device. Hargreaves believes that with the phone's screen will be easier to deal with three-dimensional graphics, even without super-fast processor.

As previously reported, Microsoft will make certain demands on producers smartphones on Windows Phone 7. At one time it was believed that the resolution 480 × 800 would be minimally acceptable, but if the statement Hargreaves is true, it means that at least some of the phones on the new OS will be relatively inexpensive.

Company Nokia has sent to the court to refute the arguments contained in the lawsuit Apple. The 28-page motion argued that the arguments have Apple sole purpose – to "divert attention" from violations by Apple patents Nokia on 3G. Nokia claims that honestly tried to agree with Apple's licensing terms, but she rejected all such initiatives.

C on the other hand, Apple can not and argue that these standards are free and for their use do not need patents. The petition also states that Apple has not resulted in any concrete examples of how the conditions of Nokia can break the law, instead he will present talks with Nokia in a false light.
