Besides, last time I checked Nokia isn't advertising company so I don't see the business case of giving away products google/tv/newspaper style. But sure, Mr. Elop wants to differentiate and this is the easiest way to do it.


Funny you are bringing this ecosystem thing, because again what is MS adding to MS/Nokia ecosystem? I see no users, no developers, no apps, no manufactures, no carriers support, no maps, no store, ... Everything is either directly from Nokia or is in the "future potential" category that mainly depends Nokia's ability to leverage WP7 with its brand to bring its customers and developers.
You are worse than Mr Me and I Clown danramos. Who cares what YOU see? Of course every single thing regarding Nokia is in future potential right now. Have the Nokia stock values completely passed you by? WP already have more than 20 thousand apps, and is increasing by the minute. MS has a modern fully functional OS and ecosystem. More people use hotmail than gmail, much more. They have X-box with direct integration to the OS. And the only way to connect your device with a PC is by using MS Windows.

Most people have no idea who Elop is, and they couldn't care less. They see a cool looking device with Nokia and Microsoft logo being advertised with all they ever need pre-installed and on top of that, 30k apps (rapidly growing) to download. Sure an HTC or LG or Samsung will have similar devices, but not similar build quality, similar style and similar looks, similar camera quality, similar reception quality, similar sound quality, but most of all, nowhere near the out of the box complete features. And if they do, it will be no big deal, they will run on Nokia-MS ecosystem.
