Windows Phone gets a couple of dozen...and has meager marketshare and looks to be going the way of RIM and Symbian...which is to say dying/dead.

WP going away is your wishful thinking? Because it certanly isn't based on facts. Windows phone marketshare is on the rise...very slowly. Its Windows Mobile that is being phased out which is a completely different platform.

Windows Phone hasn't even started rolling and certanly isn't going away with Windows 8 sharing its design and feature elements... Microsoft is just getting started with Windows Phone.

It is though. Windows phone is actively losing marketshare.

THe problem is that there is simply no time, its too late in the game iOS and Android are too well established... Unless Microsoft makes enormous strides in a very very short window they are destined to be forgotten. Just look at all the upcoming handset manufacturers, with exception to Nokia everyone is placing their bets on android, all the lastest new tech and highest end phones are going their, and Apple's iPhone will continue to rake in huge sales year after year.
