I was going to get a new phone in spring (still have XV6800) but, I'll hold tight a little longer and just get a 7.0 phone.
I can see why WM dropped by 20%....

Regardless... I am willing to bet that once Android surpasses winmo they'll never catch up. People are talking about wp7 but I dont expect huge sales out of it... especially considering its coming out so long AFTER phones like the Evo and the Iphone 4G. Going forward Android will be the #2 OS in marketshare.
And that really wasnt the point I was debating anyways. The dude tried to make it seem like people that leave winmo for Android come back when they dont... more people are switching to Android by the day and really arent likely at all to come back.. like me. Yea the buzz for wm7 is pretty decent right now but hell by the time December rolls around there will have been so many new phones out before that I doubt sales will be huge.
Plus considering they basically tried to gear it against the iphone you would think they would have at least tried to release it before or around the same time as the 4g. Once the iphone gets its sales dont expect anyone of those people to switch... apple users are die hard.
