From the rumblings deep in the bowels of Nokia, WP7 is already enjoying shˇtty sales. It's gonna be an uphill struggle for them to cling to the fraying rope that is WP7. What's HTC's stance on WP7, are they enjoying better sales or are they struggling to push their devices with it on.
Nokia, on the other hand popped the champagne corks a few weeks ago when they announced that they had sold their 1.5billionth S40 device to date.
Seems the options are to cling to a platform that's just barely staying afloat or take a couple of steps back and go back to Meego or Maemo. I'm not sure about Android at this moment in time, after reading of their latest attempts to integrate everything Google into one "ecosystem". And yeah, I hate that word, means nothing to me, sounds just like a passing fad.
