Four people at work have an Omnia 7, one with a HD7 but then we're all techies. 

Recently in the UK its hard to go anywhere without seeing a Nokia advert with the colourful tiles on display. Billboards, womens magazine, facebook, mobile phone carriers etc. A far greater push at marketing than Microsoft ever made.

This leads me to my question....were Microsoft relying on their vendors all the while, with none of them doing a good job of it till the Nokia partnership came along?

The Mango update has been a great improvement so far. Id still like a task manager (kill app) and a volume control hub.
