Yeah, Samsung is still doing it--but there's been strong rumors that if this doesn't go well, they're likely to drop Windows Phone in 2013. I forgot about Huwawei--good catch. It will all come down to how relevant Windows Phone makes itself, as to whether these two will probably continue to develop Windows Phone at all... so far, it doesn't look positive, despite Specc's assertions about Europe and its relevance.

Simply because Samsung is biggest copycats.
You DO realize (correct spelling) it hasn't been a success so far, right? We'll see how it unfolds in the coming months, but if past trend is any indicator (and based on what Samsung's own people have said), dropping support for the Windows Phone market from Samsung would only effect a tiny sliver of customers. Trends show that they have sold more with Bada than Windows Phone--and that hasn't sold particularly well in the overall market either. Once again, we'll see.
