I have had one for two years now and really like my Windows Phone.  I was show a friend something for business and she thought I had the new iphone 5 (before it had launched.)  She is a mac lover and couldn't belive how fast it worked, how nice it was, etc.   She said it was faster than her Mac at home.  I felt like I was in a commercial.

And guess I missed out on this batch of Surface tablets.   Good for Microsoft, but I am surprized they sold so fast.

Oh, and Smart Glass for your Ipad, Android, Window Phone, and Surface to arrive Friday 10-26-2012!  I hope it's cool; it could be really cool.

good news.

Its happening in UK to. I already pre ordered mine, But only 1 shop has preorders left as of Friday last week.

I have a bet on for this. Welcome back Microsoft.

I  think even MS may have been a little suprised with how fast these are selling out already. unless the initial ship numbers were only a small fraction of the 3-5 million (not out of the realms of possibilities but given they launched in multiple countries that seems unlikely) then I would not be suprised to see that number upped significantly by end of year assuming they have manufacturing capacity as well.

Integrated MS Office means millions will be bought alone for businesses and students....two very big markets.

Its also appealing to the Tech savi group + people suffering from "Apple fatigue"

MS may not be expanding much in the phone industry, but looks like they have tablets nailed down just fine.

Also, whats RT stand for?

Actually Windows RT in the sense of the surface just means Windows on ARM. WinRT the "Windows Runtime" refers to the new metro interface which is not Windows RT specific, confusingly similar but different terms.

Ahhh, I see.  I wasn't aware of that lol  Surface look sgreat though.  I kind of want to replace my notebook with it haha  So does smartglass work with Windows Phones 7.5 or whatever?

Yeah I got mine last november.  HTC Titan.  Beautiful phone, every time somebody sees me using it they want to play around on it.  It having excel, word, etc really is useful too.  I know itll probably be a few more years before Windows Phones really start taking off but my prediction was when Windows 8 comes out it should help windows phones because people will recognize the design.

They have closed pre orders -.-

Looks like they might even get the top end of their prediction at this rate, 5M Surface tablets sold in 3 montha would be a huge boost to their bottom line.
