It comes as almost less of a surprise than Microsoft’s confirmation that all UK carriers would be offering Windows Phone 7 devices, but Samsung has made the nowhere-near-shocking announcement that they will, indeed, be offering handsets running the new smartphone OS. Nice of them to let us know, but since we’ve already seen the Samsung Omnia 7 in the wild, the whole thing is a little redundant.

Samsung aren’t spilling any details on potential launch dates or hardware, either, only saying they’ll be releasing products in time for the holiday 2010 market, and that they’ll be using all Microsoft’s new Hub systems and the other goodies we’ve seen for Windows Phone 7. That means a big touchscreen, 1GHz processor and plenty of high-speed wireless.
