I spoke to one manager he said they just don't sell at all. He wont restock any for the forseeable future. Way to go MS..
So this is proof that Nokia+WP will be a flop? no, and here is why: HTC and Samsung both have much better Android phones and they are cheaper as well. They compete only with themselves, and most bang for the buck win every time. One WP phone sold for Samsung is one Android sale lost.

When Nokia enters, it will be THE alternative. They will compete with Android and will add value by lowering prices and including services as needed and back it up with commercials. It is a totally different ball game.

I have to add. Back in the old days when Symbian ruled, SE and Motorola almost went bancrupt because of Symbian while Nokia thrived.
