What a stupid article!!!!
The premise is that since MS paid NOKIA $250 million and NOKIA sold 1 million phones at $20-$30 per license then that comes out to $230 that MS must be willing to pay per phone. What happens if NOKIA sells another million phones over the next 2 months? I guess the number then becomes $115 per phone. I'm sure Steve Balmer has loftier goals than to take a loss of $230 per phone in the NOKIA deal. Regardless of what the final numbers end up being - to make money, you have to spend money. |

| I've been using WP7 for about 6 months, and I love it. |

| WP7 is probably about as popular as...say Zune? So it shouldn't be here too long then :) |

#5: People I know who have it, Love it.
Whereas ZUNE was inferior to the iPod, I'm not sure WP7 is. |
