Samsung makes the best WP7s.. LG has the best brand exclusive software.. I'd consider those 2 makers before a Nokia WP7.. ~_n


I don't know if I would think like this...considering MS specified minimum hardware specs, all phones out now are so similar to each other, you really can't go terribly wrong with any. Other than the 2 HTC models lol...

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

What are you smoking? WP7 has not bombed, far from it, what people like you tend to forget is that Wp7 is selling at about the same rate android was when it first launched in 08,  and back then there was much less competition than there is now.

Apple could just drown them so easy. With Verizon Iphone 4 Android is already hurting now and if Apple sees WP7 as a threat...

Android is a broken up userbase that has no significant phone, but 1 phone is bigger than the whole Blackberry market. Android will never have one single phone that could ever challenge it. Like I said Android is hurting right now because of verizon Iphone http://iphonetouch.blorge.com/2011/01/27/iphone-already-hitting-verizon-android-sales/

Since when was Android ever number 1 btw? From what I've seen it's not even bigger than Iphone.

As you can see, Android is beating iOS worldwide. But apple is still a clear winner. Only revenue Google gets from Android is advertising revenue and app store revenue. Apple makes money on hardware as well.

Hell Microsoft is trying to make more money off Android than Google...

As far as WP7, these numbers don't include WP7 launch as the phones launched in November. No one is expecting it to sell like the iphone, but by the next Gartner report, if WP7 has 7% marketshare it should be considered a success. Less than 5%...failure. Less than 3%...massive failure.

@AussieGecko and heruamon

lol, I didn't mean to offend the HTC owners with my comment.

I was directing my comment to the 2 slide out HTCs (keyboard and speaker) phones. Especially speaker one seems rather pointless way to add bulkness to a phone. Do either of you have that one?

Otherwise im sure they are all great phones, just a little questionable design choice.
