Windows Phone 7 To Include Gamertags, Cheevos and Avatars

What's this? Achievements on the move? Oh, go on then. Windows Phone 7 will enable you to unlock cheevos on the go as you're able to migrate you're gamertag to the handset, which enjoys Xbox 360 cross-compatibility.
2D Avatars will also be one of the Xbox Live features on the Win Phone 7 thanks to an update to XNA Game Studio 4.0 unveiled at this year's GDC.
"The other key component of XNA Game Studio 4.0 that we’ve enabled exclusively for Xbox partners is Xbox LIVE and a premium gaming experience on Windows Phone 7 Series. Through the Gamer Services API’s you can pull in a user’s Gamertag and 2D Avatar as part of the game experience, unlock achievements on the platform, and leverage notifications for asynchronous turn based gaming," writes Microsoft's Michael Klucher on his blog.

Achievements for enduring hours on hold to a call centre or for calling your ex-girlfriend whilst drunk are unconfirmed. Here's hoping though, eh?

Hmmm... I need a new phone.

Should I get it...?
