Microsoft gives away nearly 90,000 Windows Phone 7 smartphones to employees

Don’t you wish you were employed by Microsoft at the moment? Why, you ask? Well, how about news that all of its employees will receive a Windows Phone 7 device – where the first of these handsets will hit the general market from early next month onwards from AT&T with T-Mobile to follow shortly after. While this stunt might earn some loyalty points with existing employees, we can expect to see a handful of the 89,000 new phones debut on eBay for those looking to make a quick buck. For those who are Microsoft employees and experienced the benelovence of your employer, how far will you go in incorporating the Windows Phone 7 handset into your everyday life?
