Although Internet Explorer on Windows Phone 7.5/7.8 is based on IE9, it doesn't have all of its features - unfortunately, WebSockets are not supported.

To confirm this, I ran the Windows Phone 7 and Windows Phone 8 emulators and directed Internet Explorer to http://html5demos.com/web-socket.

WP7 (IE9) showed 'Sockets not supported' and Windows Phone 8 (IE10) showed 'Socket open'.
