Windows Phone 7 is getting closer by the day. We’ve already handled one of the latest Samsung units and things are really starting to look peachy. But before anyone else gets their hands on one, Microsoft is planning to give Windows Phone 7 blowers to all 90,000 of its employees.

The move means everyone at the Big M will, in theory, be able to evangelise about the new OS, selling it to sceptics and Windows fanboys alike. The workers won’t need to pay a penny for the device.
