I would be interested to know where this information was obtained? I am not arguing, It is just that I have never heard this before and It is quite a sweeping statement. A reference to back it up would be nice.

Is it just me, or is it really aesthetically unsettling that the black border on the right side of the phone is so thick compared with the one on the left? It makes the whole phone look lopsided.
Anyways, don't care for it personally. Too little too late I suspect from Microsoft.

You are right on both accounts. M$ has been brain dead since before this century. The mindless giant just keeps lumbering around pissing away money on project like this and the Zune.

Lets save judgment until someone manages to get their hands on the phone and test it out. I not expecting this to be the next best thing in cellular dominance, but we don't know enough to say this will flop off the hop either.

I always wondered how different it would be if the iOS actually showed up on other devices besides the iPhone.

The fun about posting comments in this forum is all you need is an opinion it doesn't have to be correct. I doubt that it will flop anymore than Zune flopped. Zunes are still around. They have a following, just not a big following. I doubt that they well ever recover development costs.

WHAT THE HELL?? We only get 2 phones in Canada?? Another example of how we always get screwed over here. The US gets 9, and a whole bunch go to the UK and Europe. We get an LG (one of the worst companies to make phones,tv's,etc). And the only somewhat good phone we have left is the HTC Surround, which has the lowest ram and shortest battery life of all of the WP 7 launch phones. Why not also bring the Omnia 7, and HTC Mozart/Trophy???? ****ING A$$****S

Will it be launched in the UK/Europe? If it is then the Zune aspect of the phone will be irrelevant as there is no Zune service in UK/Europe.

Who said this was the Zune phone? I thought it was the Kin 2! Not only did they make it ugly, but they actually gave up screen space to make it as ugly as it is!

Well, no one here is judging...we're just expressing our opinions based on M$'s experiences since Windoze XP...Ever since they released it, all their other big bright ideas have failed horribly, except maybe for Windoze 7, which isn't all that great either. The only reason people liked 7 so much is because Vista was such a huge PoS, that when consumers saw how shiny and fast 7 was they thought it was the best OS M$ had made...
M$ computer OSes are #1 in sales because over 95% of computers come bundled with it. I personally prefer Mac OS X or even Linux (Ubuntu, OpenSUSE, even PuppyLinux) rather than those bloated full-of-crap Windoze installations...So based on what I've seen of them lately: Zune, Vista, Xbox 360 (ring of death), Kin, WinMo6.5 ... I believe that Windoze Phone 7 is another disappointment waiting to happen...Oh yeah, copy/paste comes on the first trimester of next year guys! Have fun typing!

I don't think many will disagree with you there. Even on AD where opinions are like ass-holes (everyone has one) or is it the posters might be ass-holes wasting time with this rubbish. I find AD therapeutic and am extremely fond of so many of the cleaver ass-holes who entertain me every day.
Thanks again, all of you!

Ooo Luke 6:42 to you Mez! :P
Anyway... Almost any of these type of large scale markets usually wind up only supporting a couple of major players after a while. I doubt one of them will be this M$ OS.
To the person who questioned the Android vs iOS stats before. I would not be surprised myself. Android is cheaper and iPhone have had some f**k ups this year including a "brand" new one with the casing cracking under certain circumstances even though, I know, status counts for a lot.
Its a lot easier being righteous than right.

I forgot to add educate, as well as entertain. Wasn't there an AD article about if you read enough rubbish on the web it is more educating than going to Harvard?
What the f**k is Luke 6:42???
It takes one to know one?
If so, you have me nailed!

Heh.. I was only teasing Mez. Luke 6:24 is the one about the beam in your own eye blah blah. I use it in YouTube comments to Creationists in response to some of their lazy outrageous BS (for a laugh ~ to stir them up).
Funnily enough, there is some very informative stuff on YouTube... if you know where to look. Some great pedagogues there. :)

I know Mate about the teasing! I don't recall ever hearing that one. I don't think I cracked a bible since Sunday School and that was a while ago.
I can imagine a Creationist has got to be as dogged as Dan. Remember the king of jerks!
The fun about religion is IT IS NOT SUPPOSED TO MAKE SENSE. It if made sense it is just a simple fact. If it is wacky, then it can be religion that require faith to believe it. I guess "they" figure you must be a better person because you believe in the ridiculous. I figure it makes you a fool. I guess I am going to hell!
This has been fun!

It sounds like we have the start on a major money-making scheme that is tax free.
Good people go to pastaland when they die.
Bad people go to the infernal city of breadsticks.
Being good consists of being mean to people, avoiding charity, and giving me lots of money.
Being bad consists of not giving me money. Anything else is fine (other than eating pasta of course...this would be like eating god).

This has already happened. They are talking about the number of all the phones that use Android versus the one and only phone that uses iOS, iPhone. In similar news, all the American car manufactures combined have surpassed Toyota's car sales.
Here is one reference from Nielsen:

Actually it doesn't. It's based on Zune HD software not Windows Mobile or Windows 7 for that matter. Apple doesn't have much to worry about at least for while. You have to have some serious issues to choose a WP7 phone over iPhone 4.
