Windows Phone 7 Sales: Microsoft Stay Quiet

Yesterday we posted an article where Microsoft seemed extremely happy with Kinect sales, however they are keeping strangely quiet regarding Windows Phone 7 sales.

I’m sure if Windows Phone 7 device sales smashed Microsoft’s projections they would not be staying so quiet, therefore it suggests that Windows Phone 7 may not have been as much of a success as Microsoft had hoped.

Obviously it is early days for Microsoft’s mobile OS, Steve Ballmer has said that Microsoft is “off to a great start with Windows Phone 7.” and added “it marks the beginning, we think, of a new era in smart phones.”. It will be interesting to see whether verified WP7 stats and figures paint a similar picture.

I’m sure as more Windows Phone 7 smartphones hit carriers their market share will increase, however only time will tell whether it can hold its own against iOS and Android.

Do you own a Windows Phone 7 smartphone, if so how would you rate it compared to Android / iOS?
