Wondrous Windows?
Microsoft has revealed it shifted 1.5 million Windows Phone 7 handsets just six weeks after the OS' launch.
Achim Berg, VP of marketing for the platform, trumpeted the figure in a mock-interview blog post, adding that it helps ‘build customer momentum and retail presence'.
"We know we have tough competition, and this is a completely new product. We're in the race - it's not a sprint but we are certainly gaining momentum and we're in it for the long run," he added.
"Sales are ramping well as our reputation is growing for offering users a unique experience and are in line with our expectations - especially when compared to other new platform introductions," said Berg.
However, while the sales aren't bad, Microsoft has spent a staggering $500m promoting its new mobile platform and a VP at the company, Joe Belfiore has recently admitted that WP7 could take up to two years until it seriously rivals Apple's iPhone and Google's Android offering, making it one serious investment.
