Yesterday was the first day for U.S. availability of three devices running Windows Phone 7. If you were one of the lucky ones who went to a participating AT&T store, you may have also won admission to the free Katy Perry New York or Marroon 5 San Francisco Windows Phone 7 launch parties.

Proof: HTC HD7 Camera Showing Worse Pink Tinge Than HD2
Lately there have been some reports of the new HTC HD7 having a pink tint to its photos. We decided to test it out on a white door and compare the images with the same pictures from the HTC Surround and the old HTC HD2, as well as a professional Nikon D300 DSLR.
