An unreleased ASUS Windows Phone 7 device has been leaked, sporting the model number E600. Currently an “engineering device”, the Asus E600 could be the next major Windows Phone 7 handset launch.
According to the ChevronWP7, creators of the first Windows Phone 7 jailbreaking tool, Microsoft has provided them with several unreleased ASUS E600 Windows Phone 7 devices (seen above). It is well known that Microsoft and ChevronWP7 members are currently working to provide support for homebrew applications on the Windows Phone 7 platform.
What we didn’t know was to what extent Microsoft was willing to commit to the partnership. Based on the images (leaked by ChevronWP7 team members) and ChevronWP7’s Rafael Rivera, the ASUS E600 is a non-production device, designed exclusively for development use.
The likelihood that this model could see a retail launch is bleak, but it may be a sign of upcoming ASUS Windows Phone 7 handsets planned for wide-scale production. From what we can tell, it’s certainly not the most handsome smartphone to date, but we won’t shy away from the possibility of more Windows Phone 7 handsets. Anyone liking the design?
