LG's Windows Phone 7 Series Early Prototype

suraj.sun writes to tell us that Engadget got an early look at the new Windows Phone 7 series early prototype (and included a video). "The QWERTY slider is the first branded Windows Phone 7 Series device the world's ever seen, and while the hardware and software are both obviously early, we can tell you a few things about it: it's just a hair thicker than an iPhone or Nexus One, there are dedicated hardware camera, volume, and power buttons in addition to the back, home, and search buttons dictated by Windows Phone 7 Series, and we noticed a five megapixel camera with a flash on the back, along with a headphone jack. Can't say much apart from that right now, since things are so early and everything is subject to change, but things are certainly moving along."

Worst. Name. Ever.

Who names this stuff? Windows Phone 7 Series? Microsoft has virtually unlimited resources. How can their marketing be so awful?

Let us consider: Microsoft is normally ridiculed for inferior products, yet frequently has dominant market share. So how is Microsoft marketing a failure?

I would say if it is half as popular as the Zune, Microsoft has nothing to worry about.

If it's half as popular as Zune, Google/Apple/Nokia/Palm/etc have nothing to worry about.

Aren't you forgetting about Symbian?...

You know, that smarthpone OS which almost has more marketshare than all the platforms you mentioned, combined...
