Microsoft's all-new mobile operating system, Windows Phone 7, is an entirely different beast to its clunky predecessor, Windows Mobile 6.5. It features an attractive, fresh and easy-to-use interface, Facebook integration and a full mobile office suite. While it is far from perfect, its refreshing look and consistent performance makes it a valid alternative to competing smartphone platforms. HTC, Samsung and LG have all produced smartphones running Windows Phone 7 in Australia; we round-up the best models available.

HTC HD7
The HTC HD7 impressed us with its massive screen and built-in kickstand, but a few annoying quirks in its design detract from this smartphone's overall appeal. The HD7 remains an excellent Windows Phone 7 smartphone but sits a notch below Samsung's Omnia 7.
