[Softwares Loaded] Microsoft puts up big Windows Phone display in New York City

[ChAiN GaNg- WaNt SoMeThInG DiFfErEnT]

For weeks, Microsoft has been touting some "big" events in New York City happening Monday.
The invitation, sent to press, includes a "backstage" event featuring Windows Phone President Andy Lees and Joe Belfiore, corporate vice president for Windows Phone program management. Then there's a public event at noon (Eastern time, 9 a.m. Seattle time) at NYC's Herald Square.
Apparently, at least part of what will be happening is the unveiling of a giant Windows Phone display near Macy's in Herald Square. WinRumors has a report, as well as photos of the display -- both covered and uncovered (from a Neowin member).
Microsoft has not said what it will be announcing at these events, though the expectation is it will be presenting the new Windows Phone 7.5 "Mango" handsets that have just hit U.S. store shelves. There's speculation, as well, that Microsoft will be announcing the price and availability in the U.S. of the HTC Titan, the big (that word again) 4.7-inch handset running Windows Phone Mango.
Microsoft, which currently holds about 2 percent of the global smartphone market and less than 6 percent of the U.S. market, has been pushing lately to make more people aware of Windows Phone. It's been holding Windows Phone parties featuring indie bands and Windows Phone Inner Circle events, where company reps provide hands-on opportunities with handsets. A Seattle Inner Circle event is scheduled for Nov. 21 at Pnk Ultra Lounge.
