The marketing for Windows Phone 7 was pretty extensive in the US. I don't watch much TV, but I definitely saw plenty of the "We need a phone to save us from our phones" ads. Was it really that much smaller in the UK?
And have there really been NO bugfixes or patches (other than the notorious one he mentioned)? That's insane. Microsoft has got to know how far behind the ball they are... why aren't they pulling out all the stops on this?
For Microsoft: This isn't Windows. You can't wait 3 years (or more) for every release.
- Strom 16y agoI've seen lots of those "We need a phone to save us from our phones" ads and I've never in my life seen an Android or an iPhone ad. So saying that Microsoft didn't advertise seems weird.
- astrodust 16y agoAll I ever see is ads for "Cloud vs. Claude" and none of them make any sense. Microsoft cloud computing for editing photos? Huh?
- dagw 16y agoI don't know about the UK, but there has been zero windows Phone 7 advertising in Sweden. No TV, no billboards, no in store promotion, hell I haven't even a working WP7 demo phone in any electronics store. If you don't follow tech blogs there would be no way to know that WP7 was even out. Compare this to Android where there is plenty of promotion on all fronts and it looks like Microsoft doesn't really want to sell phones here.
