I guess when handsets are actually for sale they'll start marketing it - right now everything about Windows Phones is for developers.
To be honest though, I'm not sure normal people will even want a Windows phone. Most people seem to equate Windows with brokenness, and Apple with luxury, so given that assumedly they will cost a simliar amount to an iPhone, I can't see your average person going for them.
Maybe I'm wrong, once Win8 is out and Metro is everywhere, maybe the phones will seem more desirable.
- richbradshaw 15y agoOK - after posting this went and checked, and actually the phones are actually out now! So... where's the marketing? Why haven't MS even mentioned them? On carphonewarehouse (UK), the only way to find them is to search - they have an Apple section, an Android section, but no Windows section. The front page has Apple, Android, even Blackberry, but no hint of Windows... How can you forget to market your product?
- mossyblog 15y agoHey wait on their fella... they only spend $500million on marketing last year.. its just a small token of marketing spend at this point. (I am being sarcastic... yes, $500million was spent and no, marketing was non existent... on the upside, most of the marketing team got made redundant yesterday)
