Wildly successful based on what? I have to disagree.. and not even based on what the OS may or may not be able to do.. but moreso on the fact that they took WAY too long to debut it. And November is STILL 3 months away and who knows how many phones will have come out by then. On top of that winmo lost a ton of users to Android.. and with the plethora of phones droid has been pumping out lately I dont see many people making the switch back to windows.
Im sure they wont bomb, but timing is everything and microsoft pretty much blew it in that retrospect. Had it made a debut around the summer I probably would've checked it out since I wasnt too far gone from the tp2.. but at this point and after having my evo for a while I have no desire to go back. Especially with the news of how they've practically closed off the OS and made it a social networking phone.
