Microsoft has announced the availability of a new line of Windows phones around the world that are available in a broad range of styles and prices.

With a Windows phone, people can navigate their phone easily with the touch of a finger and browse the Internet on a great mobile browser. People can also connect to two new services that allow them to back up and share data from their phone to the Web and buy a variety of useful applications from the Windows Marketplace for Mobile. Microsoft expects partners to deliver more than 30 new phones in more than 20 countries by the end of 2009.

"We all want to connect quickly to the people and information that's important to us from across our lives at work and at home," said Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer.

"A Windows phone lets people take their entire world of digital information, communications, applications and entertainment with them wherever they go."

With a Windows phone, people can rely on their phone to balance their lives, from work to home to play. Whether it's editing a document or sharing several vacation updates through a social networking application, Windows phones help people stay connected to the people and information they care about most. Because people's phones often match their personality and unique needs, Microsoft now offers the Windows phone Custom Theme Creator. People can create personalized themes for their Windows phone by choosing the color and design that suits their style.

With a Windows phone, people will have familiar work and play experiences right from their Start button, including these:

A new enhanced Windows Live experience with What's New feeds and improved Windows Live photo sharing across major social networking sites (such as Twitter, Facebook, MySpace and Flickr)

A best-in-class e-mail experience and the ability to manage multiple accounts right from their phone with Outlook Mobile and Exchange Server synchronization

The ability to use PowerPoint and open and edit Word and Excel documents from their phone with Microsoft Office Mobile

The power to sync files on the phone through Windows Live Media Manager and play media files seamlessly with Windows Media Player

A redesigned Windows Internet Explorer mobile browser with Adobe Flash Lite that brings the mobile Web browsing experience closer to what people have come to expect from their PC
