>>>I have a bet with a boss at work who loves his android, that Windows Phone 7 will sell in excess of 300,000 phones opening day (his number), I think it will be closer to 800k if they have the availability of phones that they said would be there.

>Possible... the iPhone 4 sold 1.7m in its first 3 days, so who can say what wp7 can do?

>I'm not convinced that an initial figure is connected to annual market share in this case, though. MS is paying hundreds of millions of $ to stage an initial parade. If the new OS is really nice and well-matched to devices, the parade is indeed a jump start to the greater things you predict. But we need to wait until the parade is over before reviews and real experiences can be distinguished from the professional marching bands. Unless MS intends to fund the parade ad infinitum, of course. ;-)

I've been using the phone for 6 weeks now... will NOT go back to my IPHone... You'll see it on EBay soon..
