According to TheStreet, Microsoft sold 40,000 Windows Phone 7 devices on Monday, its first day of release.
Microsoft's reboot of its smartphone division seems to have suffered a major setback in its first real test, apparently selling only 40,000 Windows Phone 7 devices on the day of its release in the US - despite an estimated $100 million marketing budget.
Following the general availability of Windows Phone 7 in the United States earlier this week, the software giant also unveiled the customer support options already available.
Of course, support is not only about resolving glitches, but also about taking advantage of everything that Windows Phone 7 has to offer. An in this regard, Microsoft has already a well-trained Front Line in place.
