SAN FRANCISCO--If Microsoft hopes to get back in the smartphone game, it had
better hope that Windows Phone 7 makes a bigger impact than it appeared to
be having at one AT&T store here.
As of mid-day Monday, the store had sold less than half of its supply of 20
devices.
That's not to say that folks weren't lining up. Unfortunately, nearly all of
the 200 people that showed up on Market Street this morning were there to
snag tickets for a launch concert featuring Maroon 5, as opposed to getting
their hands on one of the new phones. Microsoft did manage to make the most
of the queue, requiring that concert-goers at least get a demo of Windows
Phone 7 before getting their passes to the show, which takes place at the
Fillmore Theatre this eventing.

But only a small handful of those that lined up Monday morning ended up
buying a phone.
The first Windows Phone 7 devices also went on sale at T-Mobile, though one
could hardly tell by visiting the downtown San Francisco store. There were a
few cases for the HD7, but the only Windows Phone on display was an HD2,
which runs Microsoft's older Windows Mobile 6.5 software.
It turns out that particular T-Mobile store has seen such rampant theft of
its working floor devices, that all the display units have been replaced
with non-working phones. But even there, there had been a problem with the
display unit for the Windows Phone 7-based HD7, which had been broken by
accident earlier that day. While the store was waiting to receive a
replacement, it had a working HD7 available for demos. And despite not
having any mention of the product in the store, it had sold roughly 7
devices by noon.
A key question remains how much push that the Windows Phones will get from
the in-store sales staff at carrier stores. The AT&T store may have had
several people there specifically to show off and sell the Windows phones,
but the store's exterior touted only the iPhone, with no mention of the
Windows Phone debut, or signage showing off the launch devices. It was the
same over at T-Mobile, where there were giant banners promoting Android
applications, with no indications of a Windows Phone section, or a dedicated
set of accessories besides some generic screen protectors and USB chargers.
The visibility of the platform is bound to change over time, but if you had
walked by either of these stores, you'd have no idea the first Windows Phone
7 devices were in stock and available for a hands-on demo.
Of course San Francisco is not the only place to get a Windows Phone 7, and
reports of sales in other locations show a bit more promise for the device--
especially in Europe, Australia and Singapore where recent reports have them
selling out. The same has been the case around parts of the U.S. as well,
with Knoxville, Tennessee-based software developer Geoff Hudik tweeting this
morning that all his local stores were sold out of Windows Phone 7 devices.
The same thing was reportedly happening in Atlanta, according to Twitter
user Rushabh Mehta, who said the local T-Mobile store there had sold out
within thirty minutes of opening. Also worth a mention are online carrier
sales of the devices, which have not yet been accounted for.
One thing that may not have gone so well for Microsoft publicly, and what's
been giving it some attention, is the sidewalk chalking the company did to
promote the Maroon 5 launch concert. It had done the same in New York to
promote a Katy Perry show.
A Microsoft representative confirmed that the company, via one of its
marketing agencies, did use chalk art in certain neighborhoods to promote
the launch concerts. The chalk designs are temporary and are easily washed
away with water, Microsoft said.
Microsoft had done a similar ground campaign for the launch of its Gears of
War game franchise back in 2006, which had been a tad more pedestrian than
the company's infamous sticky butterfly viral campaign in 2002, which
plastered MSN butterfly decals around Manhattan. Though neither of those
cases were as bad as IBM's "Peace, Love & Linux" graffiti campaign in San
Francisco, which used real spray paint, and ended up costing IBM some $120,
000 in city fines and clean-up costs. |

因为到时候算算每天新增的service的用户数，就能八九不离十了。
每个月必须保证有近100万台的出货量，Terry的预计才能达到。
所以大家等着看吧。如果第一个月全球出货量在150万，则有希望。
本来想去AT&T支援一把的，可惜HTC只有surround。不对胃口。。。HD又只在T-mobile

今天就算全微软都来唱衰或者赞美WP7也没用，因为决定权不是在这里。
