Another is phone manufacturer sales – phones being bought and stocked by mobile operators and retailers on their way to customers. We are pleased that phone manufacturers sold over 1.5 million phones in the first six weeks, which helps build customer momentum and retail presence.
- Seth_Kriticos 16y agoSo that means that 1.49 million phones are sitting on a shelf waiting to be bought by actual users?
- ajays 16y agoI've heard that all Microsoft employees are being given a free WP7 phone. Given that they have ~100K employees, that's a sizable number.
- harshpotatoes 16y agoAll workers located at microsoft or all FTE's? There are something like 60-100k people employed by microsoft, but i think that includes vendors/csgs. Just FTEs are a much smaller amount.
- techsupporter 16y agoMicrosoft employees and interns--that is, blue badges--are being offered reimbursement on the purchase of a Windows Phone 7 device through mid-June (in the US; non-US sites are handling things differently). Not every US employee has taken advantage of the offer due to no availability from Sprint and Verizon or just because they didn't want to yet.
- Locke1689 16y agoSpecifically 2010 Summer-Fall interns. Even more specifically, it requires a data plan. The FTEs have a different deal—I don't remember how it works.
