Wind Mobile: New phone launching - HTC Raider 4G Windows 7.5

Wind Mobile is at it again, announcing the HTC Raider 4G running Windows 7.5 Mango.  This will be Windows first real Windows phone as the HTC Maple was running an old version Windows Mobile 6.1, which in my opinion wasn't a true representation of what Windows Mobile could do.
