It's the long rumored Office for Symbian. After that WP7 bombed, it's a reasonable move for MS.

um... it didnt? Its not selling fantastically well but at least in australia more and more people are getting them. The word of mouth is spreading.

Some people have an anti-MS stance... like yourself from the looks of it. People are finally starting to come around.

O RLY?

Windows Mobile market share: Q3 2009 = 7.9% -> Q3 2010 = 2.9% (source: Gartner).

It says right there that Q3 2010 (november) is when the stats were counted. I couldn't buy my windows 7 phone till November 11 in Canada. So The Q3 data mostly includes Windows 6.5 sales and possibly first or second week of WP7.

If next quarter results WP7 isn't at 5%-7% mark sales wise...the phones bombed big time.
