Doesn't matter because MS could still claim that as being sold. MS has been cagey about WP7 sales - they only seem to give out the number of units "shipped" rather than the number of units sold. And by shipped they probably mean the number of licenses sold to manufacturers, eg HTC buys a bulk license for 500K units, but has so far produced only 100K devices and have only sold 20 to end users (these numbers have been pulled from thin air for illustrative purposes only).

I thought the whole business with that Ovi crap was to do with "the cloud" and services?
