Re: Windows Phone 7... Doomed?
the initial launch will be important yes, but it wont make or break the brand, marketing and devs will. if they dont sell a million in the first month that doesnt mean it wont take off. m$ has too much riding on this, this isnt the red headed stepchild that was the kin, this is one of their bread and butter projects.

the kin was just a perfect storm of fail you could say. wrong timing, wrong carrier choice, poor product, poor software, etc all those put together is why it only lasted 2 months. wp7 will be around for YEARS for sure. it may not be the next big thing or wildly popular but microsoft isnt gonna just lay down on this one even if the launch isnt the 2nd coming of the iphone.
