It would have to be a short bus, the way things look.

Much will change with Mango (although not enough for me, I fear) and with Nokia contributing Maps to all WP devices and offering quality hardware alternatives, I'd expect that curve to turn around by this time next year.

Let's also not forget that salespeople have been burned enough by Windows phones in the past to be disinterested in trying to sell them. I'm pretty sure they're a fail from the GO because of their ruined brand and negative customer experiences in the past. I sincerely doubt that Windows Phone 7 will make any difference to Nokia's drops.
