One Year Milestone Had Reached, Windows Phone 7

The first mobile phone with WP7 – HTC Trophy was officially on sale on 21 October, 2010 in New Zealand. As the first iPod had released for about a decade, Windows Phone 7 also hit one year milestone.

The master guru of Windows Phone 7, Joe Belfiore, wrote such words on twitter: Hey — HAPPY FIRST BIRTHDAY WP7! Our very first phones started selling (Europe only) 1 year ago! A lot’s happened in a year, eh? :) We also wish Windows Phone its first birthday and all the success for the times to come ahead.

The last year is a tough year for Microsoft. It still hard to believe that just over one year ago Kin was dead (with only 500 global sales) and few months later Microsoft also had to give up Zune. Fortunately is Microsoft does not abandon WP7 like as Kin in only 2 months. A year ago, this platform has just appeared and brought a brand-new mobile phone experience. And within a year, WP7 released two major updates, NoDo and Mango, which establish the foundation of its potential market. Those updates own tremendous significance for the future. For this platform, the only little change is the sales, but we still have high expectation for it.

In fact, it’s strange that mobile platform which can accept the criticisms continuously will go ahead better than the platform which with ever-increasing consumers. Even though Microsoft is working to change the status quo through advertising and strive for the OEM support. Whatever, we still believe that WP7 can gain a place in the field of mobile operation system.
