BEIJING. January 27. KAZINFORM Software giant Microsoft said on Wednesday it sold more than 2 million copies of its new Windows Phone 7 operating system to handset makers in 2010. Kazinform refers to Xinhua.
That number represents the software units licensed to mobile handset makers such as Samsung, LG and HTC, not necessarily consumers.
A Wall Street Journal report said this figure is neither high nor low enough to declare the product a success or failure.
Microsoft said early research suggested that 93 percent of customers are satisfied with the Windows Phone 7 devices, and 90 percent would recommend it to others.
The handset software is expected to counter Apple's iPhone and Google's Android system. Last week Apple declared 16.2 million iPhones were sold in the fourth quarter of last year. Kazinform cites Xinhua. See www.xinhuanet.com for full version
