Windows Phone 7 Handsets Released into the Wild in New Zealand

As you may well know, at any given point in the day, it's late enough in the day that it's already a completely different day on the other side of the world. Right now, it's October 21st in New Zealand, which can mean one one thing: there's a dude who has seen Lord of the Rings more than 50 times, and now he is able to purchase a Windows phone 7 handset. He is so very happy about this, and the people selling it to him seem joyous as well.

This dude, who will be more than likely forgotten in about 10 minutes for his awesome achievement, is named Jourdan Templeton and is a Computer Science student at the University of Waikato. His feat is to be the first person in the entire world to purchase a Windows phone 7 handset, hooray for him! It appears that it might be a HTC 7 Trophy – a phone which, if you ask me, isn't quite as hot as the HTC 7 Mozart. You be the judge whenever you get your claws on them.
