This is according to Mobile-Review’s Eldar Murtazin who posted the following on Twitter :

SE denied to support WM in future, X2 possible the last one WM device (one more in development but could be canceled).Sales forecast is bad

Next year SE will show 4 android phones, 3-4 S60 phones. I prefer HTC over Android phones, S60 isnt so bad

If this is true, SE is in part ot blame for this. The massive delay of the X1 really killed it and the fact the the X2 is basically just an X1 with a higher res camera doesn’t help their case. Microsoft’s Windows Mobile 7 delay is another factor IMO. Take this news with a grain of salt though. But remember that we already know that the X3 is running Android.
