You may have heard that Microsoft unleashed its new mobile platform on unsuspecting Americans today (
see our reviews here ), and we were curious to see how many of you broke out the credit card. Let us know how you played things in the poll below, and we're welcoming everyone into comments for an open (and totally not trolltastic) conversation about what Day One with a WP7 handset feels like. So get to it!
Did you get a Windows Phone 7 device today? Yep, picked up a Focus! 3240 (4.2%) Got myself a Surround. Hey, I'm serious about sound. 541 (0.7%) HD7 FTW. 2591 (3.4%) I'm holding out for the Venue Pro. 3594 (4.7%) Waiting for the Quantum -- I need a landscape QWERTY in my life. 996 (1.3%) I live outside the US and already got my WP7 phone. 1894 (2.5%) I didn't get anything, but I do want to see these poll results! 64251 (83.3%)
