There is a segment of the market that will buy these and MS is simply capitalizing on it. Can you imagine our simultaneous heartbreak had Project Pink turned out to be a new WM7 phone and these were the result? Whew! We dodged a bullet.

Having said that, WM7 will either be a game changer or game over for MS. There is no second chance for them. I use Vista and have no problems with it, but if WM7 gets labeled as a Mobile Vista then it's all over. People will go to Android, BB or other and will not wait 6-12 months for WM7.5.

Here are the ingredients to a sure success:

3.8-4" AMOLED, multitouch, capacitive, WVGA 800x480, 16.4m colors
Tegra II CPU/GPU (avail. 2H 2010)
1 GB RAM
8 GB ROM + micoSDHC
CDMA/GSM Worldphone (SIM card slot)
WiFi, WiMAX, Bluetooth 2.1+ EDR
GPS & FM Radio
8 MP Camera w/LED Flash, Auto-focus & Auto-Stabilization
3.5" mm Headphone Jack & Mini-USB Jack
Removable 1500 mAH Li-Ion Battery

I'll take it with WM7 if it includes Zune and XBOX. But if WM7 doesn't deliver us unto the Promised Land, give me the same specs with Android "Flan" or "Gelato".

Thank you for listening.

Price of a phone like that = 1,500+
