Sure, your also talking a phone that has been on the market for 4-5 months(?) vs. phones that have been out for years. WP7 is all new, so Windows Mobile or PocketPC don't count here in the numbers, where it's always been around number 4 or 5 anyway behind IOS, Android and Rim anyway.

This site would not exist if there was not a following behind Windows Mobile or PocketPC (PocketPC=PPC, aka PPCgeeks). Love it or hate it, it's not going anywhere.

Will Windows Phone 7 take over IOS overnight?? Hell no or Android, Nope.

So far, reviews are VERY positive on WP7, over all people who own it claim it's smoother and faster than Android(a locked factory OEM phone and not people who played with it in a store for 20 min) and it has better quality apps in it's market place when looking at IOS or Android (Who needs 99K of fart apps ?).

I do honestly feel after a few years (once it has full carrier support with a good selection for a while), as long as Microsoft does not screw it up and the market place keeps growing at the current rate, it will come close or even beat Android.

Time will tell but, for a phone that has not been out too long, it looks pretty good. If you don't like it and you gave it a fair shot, cool, it's not for everyone.
