Symbium or whatever has been the most dominant phone worldwide forever but when was the last time you actually saw someone using a Nokia phone? Samething with winmo, if You walk into a mall and stop 60 people over 21 I doubt any of them will have a winmo phone. I haven't even seen an imagio or pure in real life. The reason the hd2 is selling so much is because anybody who has a winmo feels the urge to upgrade because there phone sucks, anybody with android is happy so they don't feel the urge to upgrade. The only report I care about is in the US, who will sell more handsets in people's hands by the end of 2010, android or winmo 6.5 (or even winmo 7 combined)? its not a hard question.

That is kind of misleading. I know that analysts project that Android will outsell iphone, WinMo, and others. But its a projection. But say this was true for 2010, it is still in fact misleading. (Which I really do think it will be, not arguing against you.) Prolly the first thing we agreed on haha.
I say this because no manufacturer wants to make a phone with Windows 6.5 because of the fact that WM7 is on the way. And its a well known fact that phones with 6.5 will not be able to upgrade to WM7 because of the hardware specs (besides the HD2). What was the last phone made with WM 6.5...the TP2, Imagio or maybe the Samsung Intrepid (I still shutter when I think of that phone lol.) And I'm talking about in the US.
So to say that Android will outsell WinMo in 2010 is misleading due to the fact that manufacturers are not even making 6.5 phones to begin with. (In US...dont care about Europe.) And WM7 is slated to come out in September. So I think the best you could say is Android will outsell Winmo in Q3 of 2010. But even then I think it would be misleading since WinMO will only have 2-3 (if we are really lucky) phones out compared to Androids ever increasing lineup.
I think it will take time for WM7 to gain public popularity, but I'm sure it will happen in no time. Android started off a little slow with the G1, but look where its at now.
