With Microsoft dusting away the Microsoft Kin phones to concentrate on Windows Phone 7 it looks like Microsoft is already heading towards release of Windows Phone 7 as an AT&T retail signage shows Windows Phone 7 may launch sooner than thought.

However, according to Nilay Patel of Engadget

, apparently it’s nothing to get over excited about as cards such as this one have previously shown up in July for September launches.

Having said that I doubt Microsoft would put out retail material if a Windows Phone 7 device wasn’t on its way, and a launch of Windows Phone 7 before the holidays would be a big win for Microsoft if they can pull it off.

Well whatever the Windows Phone 7

device is the material clearly shows a quantity of six, so I guess it’s just a matter of waiting a while to find out; more as and when we know.
