T-Mobile Dumps MS SmartPhone

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the thanks-but-no-thanks dept.

burgburgburg writes "It seems that T-Mobile International, Europe's second largest mobile phone operator, has decided against introducing a Microsoft SmartPhone after all. T-Mobile had announced their plans in February to introduce the MS SmartPhone this summer. Industry insiders say that the software for the phone continued to have 'fundamental problems,' leading to a high failure rate. French mobile carrier Orange introduced a MS SmartPhone, SPV, late last year. It initially had software security problems which Microsoft has claimed are patched."

    I have to admit I'm a little skeptical about it having "security problems." After all, Microsoft is very pro-security. I highly doubt it was their fault that there were security problems.

    May be the reporter has mistaken "T-Mobile's Dumb MS SmartPhone" as "T-Mobile Dumps MS SmartPhone"
