Yep :o)

I remember when the Motorola droid came out - all of my daughters friends were talking about it and begging for it. Then the droid2 and now the newer ones. Every new one and they "have" to have it. I know kids who upgraded their phones in the middle of cell phone contracts to get the latest Droid. They need that same draw with the WP7. They all use it for IM, email, facebook, myspace, and games.

With all of MSFT's advertising, none of them are even talking about WP7. They are talking about the Droid X and the Samsung Galaxy... All of them have hundreds or even thousands of friends on Facebook now and all are chatting about the Droid still...

They really should just "GIVE" the WP7 to a hundred young adults (18-24) in different cities....seriously, if they had the kids showing a WP7 phone in their facebook profile pic and chatting about it (like it was cool), it would fly. That plus a cooler name :o)
