I'll bet there are lines of people waiting at AT&T stores for their Windows Phone 7s, right? Blocks and blocks of them, right?

No, it doesn't have a cult-like following, unfortunately.

Is there a worse combination than Windows phone 7 and AT&T? Why would anyone do that to themselves?!?
gordigorNov 6, 2010
Yes. Apple and AT&T.
hipmanNov 6, 2010
Do you even know anything about it?.Or is Ms hate automatic?.
robbh66Nov 6, 2010
as automatic as your hate for apple, I'd bet.
hipmanNov 6, 2010
You'd loose that bet.But thanks for the stupid comment.My point stands.
robbh66Nov 6, 2010
Ah, so you're just only aggressive in your defense because you're not a MS fanboy. Makes perfect sense.

I will likely brave the lines early Monday.

This does sound like a shady marketing ploy to me

Further proof AT&T doesn't get it and is completely out of touch with their customers or potential customers.
Or it could be genius on their part: Keep a really small initial order of something you know won't sell so that they're not stuck with tons of inventory that they'll be discounting in 1-2 months and end up giving them away.

It could be Microsoft who is dictating this in order to have lines on the first day- they are willing to take a hit in preorder sales to generate buzz, they are spending record amounts on their marketing campaign thus far

Windows 95 (code named Chicago) was originally supposed to come out long before it did. Vista was years late and lacked features originally promised. Pre-orders are a gamble. Selling a real product is more solid than selling vaporware. People can buy it when it is a real product.

But does pre-order needed for rarity?
