Nokia + WP7 is not gonna happen. Too much money put into symbian, Navteq and Meego and Ovi.

Nope, the number is amount of devices shipped to shops, carriers and distributors, not number of devices sold to customers. Worldwide.
Actual number of devices sold to customers could be low with the rest gathering dust in shops.

You don’t have to feel sorry for me. Feel sorry for yourself not being able to enjoy the newest OS on the market. LOLZ!

I experienced android, i-phone, WM 6.5, but wp7 is the one that attracts me most. The others look, feel, and act the same i every aspect. You know when you’re use to something, you become a fanboy. And when something new or better steps into your territory, you feel threatend. So there is alot of hate and criticism for wp7. I have no hate for the other OS’s, I just feel more connected with wp7. Sure there are a few flaws, but look at how many updates android and iOS had within 1-2 year period; many!. Comes to show that there are flaws within each OS and updates are the only way that makes them better. Don’t be paranoid reviewers and haters. Wp7 only been in the market 1-2 months, not 3-4 years. So relax. Hey they said xbox had no chance but now its number seller against others 5 moths straight. Again relax dumb-F reviewers.

PS: wp7 + nokia = unstoppable

1.5 million customers that soon find out that they can’t sync their contacts and agenda with their expensive beta-toy the way they did it for the last 10 years with each and every other phone including the previous Windows (mobile) generation.

Woeha!

Next year, next year, maybe january, hope so! Very promising OS! Hope wp7 has samekind multitasking than iOS, it’s very handy i like it a lot, very well done and user friendly. I dont need to worry or think the whole multitasking it just works and dont need to remember closing apps etc.

Only fanboys can tell a platform will fail or succeed now. See the statistics, the smartphone market itself is in its childhood days.If a fanboy thinks that they can make someone fail or succeed just by posting some bad or good comments, it will be childish and immature.Those days are gone where some blogger fanboy used to comment badly bashing some product can turn the balance sheet numbers of a company. Intention is either fanboyism or they think it will save their jobs. People who read these comments know who all these people are and what their vested interest is why they write blogs.

I have been a iPhone user for long term, Android user for short term and now a Windows Phone 7 Samsung Focus user. I liked all the three devices. But if you ask, which one is better value proposition without doubt I would say Windows Phone 7. I dont think one needs much knowledge to say which one is better. I see in a year or so WP7 taking a sizeable market share . Only thing that can change this is if others come up with something new and solid like WP7, So as a consumer its good to have competition. The future looks equally bleak for all three. There are some stregths and weakness for everyone. I love to hate Microsoft, but just not taking any fanboy comments at facevalue, I could see Microsoft as the one who is in adominant position even in smartphone segment with there marginal market share now. Followed by Google and Apple. Cloud presence and bank balance makes all difference ,since a long term player in this domain will ultimately emerge as the winner. Being said that I think even Amazon and facebook like companies are second to none and forces to be reckoned with since we dont know what there plans are. Only time will tell. If you take a shorter term perspective Facebook and Amazon like companies where more innovative than any of this mega size players.

At the end of the day what these junkies write doesnt matter . Take Microsoft itself , there is no other company which is bashed by fan boys thru the media. But still Windows 7, Kinect , Bing all are mega dollar success in itself. True that they had failed in KIN, Courier etc. Same is the case with Apple or google. They had their own failed products , But then there are iPhones , google search etc. So the more you experiment or fail with small projects, Fundamentaly these companies are getting into a stronger position to compete.Its not a good yardstick to measure the success or failure looking at failed projects which are of peanuts to these companies. Kincet and Bing are better examples here. See the market share they had initially and how they quickly learned and captured a fare share.
Pretty sure same is going to be with WP7, from the fanboy comments and concerns itself you could easily understand that WP7 had started kicking butts of Droids and iPhone. But this doesnt mean that they had won. Its upto Droids and iPhone to come up with something compelling to compete with WP7.
