Also, you've completely misrepresented what I've been saying; I've been saying that Nokia believe they are representing both the interests of the market and their own self-interest in the best possible way. I've also pointed out that I am not concluding this is the correct way to go yet; I am simply saying to wait and see. But jumping to conclusions is all the rage around here, so I can see why you thought I might follow suit.

Also the lack of devices is due to the planned release schedule for these devices. As we all know, mobile handsets have very long lead times for development and it's unlikely that any recent sales data would have affected device production.

Also as an aside, I only refuse points when they are grounded in poor logic. All your posts have been characterised by misrepresenting current information, including my own stance on the topic at hand. Most of my posts have been based on correcting your assumptions, representations of data and overt generalisations of the current marketplace. Game over, please deposit 40 quarters.

I will buy the deviced but with lack of marketing it will fail globally. It mayh sell well in northeurope and ausstria but the rest it will fail thanks too Elop and his Microsoftteam...

I actually followed your daft logic throughout, which you applied to things only when it twisted some other daft statement of yours in your favour but decided to ignore it when you saw fit. I misinterpreted nothing because I actually was discussing your rebuttal to my own comment. go back and read it if your memory also fails you. Good day and goodbye.

Do either of those show great macromanagement on behalf of Microsoft? Not really. But they do mean that it's probably not really worth rating the sales data until Mango comes along with new devices in tow and bridges the service gap that currently exists between WP7 & its competitors. How was Android's first year again?

Honestly son the door is right there, if you want to walk through it at any time I won't laugh too hard.
