Did the Windows Phone 7 Bomb In the US?

Thorfinn.au writes "Microsoft's new smartphone platform is off to what could be considered a slower start than expected in North America. That's according to The Street, which has released a report saying that the company sold some 40,000 units on its first day on the market. Early sales numbers from other phone platform launches include Apple's estimated 500,000 iPhones being snatched up during its launch weekend in 2007, and a million and a half G1 Android phones being bought up by T-Mobile subscribers in the phone's first six months." Do you know anyone with one of these phones? Me either.

Can do custom ring tones? Multitask? Cut n paste? How many apps in the store?
Sounds like a first gen product to me.
And that is what is so odd. Notice the name Windows Phone 7! This isn't a first gen Windows mobile phone it is the 7th.
Frankly it does seem to me too little too late. Microsoft has been in the Phone market too long to have any excuses about missing features.
