Also, the fact that we just finished the holiday shopping season makes me feel like the results can't be that rosey. If Sprint on the 7th and MWC that follows doesn't show some soon to be released competitive hardware and software.Then we need to make a wp7 funeral video lol. I know people won't like this post but I know some of you feel the same. I mean Microsoft just released at a bad time. Every single mobile OS is being tailored to tablets as well as being able to communicate to their smartphone counterparts in some amazing and creative ways. Microsoft has to release an update containing more than cdma support and c/p by the end of February. Also by the end of the first quarter they need "comparable" hardware. Especially with phones like the atrix and thunderbolt coming next month.
Your not reading the numbers right..its EVEN worse...those are the amount of licenses M$ sold up to now to manufacturers...aka we aren't even talking about carriers shelves or even how many devices were made..we are talking about licenses for software here..and usually they buy in advanced..aka it wouldn't be out of the question if the CDMA WP7 devices are ALREADY included in those numbers..yes..its THAT BAD...
