Microsoft doesn’t seem to want to communicate on the end-user sales numbers but has indicated today that 2 Million Windows Phone 7 devices have been sold to carriers and retailers in Q4 2010. This is 500K more than the latest announced number in December but obviously still way behind it’s main competitors (iPhone and Android):
“We’re still in the early stages,” Microsoft Senior Product Manager Greg Sullivan told Mobilized in a phone interview on Wednesday. “When people use this phone, they really, really like it.”
Microsoft will definitely have to answer lots of questions about Windows Phone 7 sales and forecasts tomorrow during its Q2 2011 earnings conference call. But keep in mind that Microsoft only sells Licenses to OEMs not phones. This is still a far cry from the projected 30 Million sales that Microsoft hopes to accomplish this year.
