The phone has all ZuneHD functionality in it. And they basically used the ZuneHD UI. Zune is one of the "hubs" on the phone.
I hate to be a negative nancy but...
- You can't even send/read text messages from the xbox website unless you're gold so it'll probably be the same way if you're on the phone.
- I wouldn't expect it to play standard XBLA games at all. A cell phone doesn't have the power nor the interface to support your average XBLA game. All games will probably have to be built for the phone, meaning it's no different than Android or iPhone.
I wouldn't get my hopes up if I were you guys. At most it'll be a picture of your avatar and a friends list that you can or can't interact with depending on your membership status. If you're hoping to play Bionic Commando Re-Armed or Marvel vs Capcom 2 online from your phone against people on a phone/console or be in a party chat with people on phones and a 360, I think you're gonna be disappointed.
Looks Amazing , cant wait for those Phones Arrive , probably get one from SamSung :)

Nope on the Avatar issue, as somebody posted a link of a M$ rep talking about it, and saying you WILL be able to modify your Avatar on your phone, and while you'll not see full 360 games, they are looking to get some cross platform games in quene with achievements.
@Wiistation
Where did you see that this information? For what phone, since I didn't think there were currently any devices out.

ballmer said out of the box that it wont have flash support, on adobe's part not his. the multitasking will be limited because they wanted a ui for common users and not just business users.

Flash support could be key, so I'll not totally rule that out yet, and as for multitask...I saw a video clip of some level of multitasking...nothing like a computer, but on such a small screen, that would be difficult.
