The Microsoft Windows Phone 7 launch event kicks off today at various times around the globe, and you can check out that timing by hitting up (here), but over the last few months we have seem many images of Windows Phone 7 devices but apparently this one is a first.

According to an article over on Engadget by Sean Hollister, the image above is of the HTC HD7 Windows Phone 7 smartphone which is also know as the HTC Schubert, and the guys over at Tmonews say that this is the first picture of the HTC Schubert sporting the T-Mobile branding.

Apparently the image was supplied from the usual “anonymous source” along with a part spec sheet which apparently delivers a tad different dimensions for the Windows Phone 7 device along with double the flash memory bringing it to 16GB.

The same source has also come up with some supposed pricing for the T-Mobile HTC HD7 handset, which is based on a 2 year agreement and the device will set you back $199. However, as that WP7 event kicks off today no doubt we’ll get some confirmation of this or not as the case may be.

So any of our readers hoping to snap up a new Windows Phone 7 smartphone once they start dropping into stores, if so feel free to let us know which WP7 device you are after.
