After the initial positive reactions that WP7 got, everyone expected Microsoft to really push the envelope and arrive in the smart phone market. I think the Nokia deal has got a lot to do with the unexpected loss of momentum. I still feel that Microsoft is going to emerge as a strong competitor in the smart phone arena. They are going to take some time, but they will get there. The Nokia deal is going to be a big win for them.
