Its little brother, the Lumia 710 will be available from T-Mobile in less than a week.

A sign of a dead horse? I don't see huge campaigns pushing iPhone, Androids and other successful phones on the market, seems most are sold and increase in usage from people's word of mouth.

You must not have been watching TV when the iPhone came out, there were tons of ads. Maybe you don't remember "there's an app for that," among many many other iPhone ads. Motorola, HTC, and Samsung still have a bunch of commercials running for their respective phones. I do agree with the article stating that Microsoft and windows phone have a lot of catching up to do.

Yep, you're 100% correct i don't watch TV. What peace! Not getting bombarded with commercials and all the other crap that seems to be on it, I've never had a desire to start watching it anymore. There are so many other enjoyable things to do in life then watch others live their life on the TV...

Have to agree with you on that. We don't watch a lot of TV either, but even when we do, the amount of advertising your bombarded with has become ridiculous.

Well... It looks like I'll be getting a new phone whenever the promotion hits AT&T. Honestly, I really do like Win7P. It's a good, SECURE phone. It might be less of a fashion statement (a reason ALOT of people by the iPhone), but I could careless about that.
