Imminent Launch for Windows Phone 7 in UK?

Sources are suggesting that the Windows Phone 7 may be released as early as THIS MONTH if we are to believe rumours surrounding the new HTC HD3 Windows Device reported over at Pocket Lint. HTC are apparently hosting a Mystery Event on 15th September, however as this is a day before the release of the Final Developer Tools we aren't so sure.

Perhaps more credible is the speculation that the Microsoft "Special Event" at the start of October could coincide with the launch, as Neowin suggests. This is a few weeks after the launch of the new tools, possibly allowing enough time for the speedy developers to get their apps to Marketplace in time for the big day.

The Microsoft event will cover Windows Phone 7, Windows Azure, Windows 7, and the launch of IE9.
