45.5 million people in the United States owned smartphones in 2010. Android account for 43% of the units sold in Q3 of 2009.
Even if every Windows phone shipped was sold and not held in inventory (unlikely - Microsoft probably gave cell dealers some sort of break to make the size of this first shipment look good) that would still account for only a tiny fraction of the installed userbase of smartphones. Overshadowing Microsoft’s effort is the release of the iPhone on Verizon and the entrenched Android market.

Not mention the impending release of the iPhone 5 later this year.
