Is it possible to program for Windows Phone 7 in standard C++ only?

Question

I know that the recommended language for Windows Phone 7 development is C#.

Answer 1

According to Wikipedia Windows Phone 7.0 runs Windows CE 6.0 R3/7.0 hybrid as operating system.

In theory one could use C++ to build standard* C++ programs targeting Windows CE 6.0 R3 and 7.0 (supposed to come out on Q1 2011). I mean all the standard* dlls should be there (gdi32.dll, user32.dll) Internet Explorer and other C++ programs are still running on Windows Phone 7.

The how to get the application on the phone? and how to run the application on the phone? are the next questions which at the moment I don't know how to answer.
