There’s a windows phone?
“Well...we only carry the high-end smartphones. Windows is really old.”
Changing the name doesn’t make it not old.
Mango? MAN GO??? That is sooooooooo sexist!
I would have called it the X Box phone because that’s the only microsoft brand that’s cool
Kill the windows phone? LOL...their doubling down with the same interface in Windows 8.
As soon as the salesman said he was well-informed abou the upcoming iPhone 5, I knew everything out of his mouth was crap.
Maybe they can name it Bob.
Microsoft isn’t focusing on the US market - it’s reaching saturation as far as smarthphones go... It’s focusing on Asia, where there are still 1+ billion cellphone users who are potential smartphone users. And where Nokia traditionally - and still - dominates.
Nokia was the largest smartphone vendor in the world for a decade, and it was with essentially zero US market presence. Too many forget that between China, India, and SE Asia there are nearly 3.5 BILLION people - and cellphones are extremely prevalent in those countries.
If Windows Phone 7 just maintains the Nokia marketshare within China and India alone, it will grab 25% of world market share - and instantly leapfrog iOS and move into a strong second place behind Android.
Mango...oh! My first thought was Mongo from “Blazing Saddles”...
“Mongo only pawn... in game of life”
The sales man should be fired or retrained.
seriously the only people who are going for the windows phone 7 are those who want it.
the IDIOT cloud storage makes many phones a no deal for client confidentiality. (see recent cloud hacks)
in addition windows slit their own throat by intentionally excluding a chip slot in their phone.
finally one word, zune. include zune kill your phone sales.
and to the author know it all, mango is a moronic name.
