Yes, Microsoft sold 5m or what-so-ever amount of units. But the fact that most of those device had been return back to the point of purchased and have it replace by a new Windows phone or a different phone manufacturer.

Microsoft lacks the capability to provide enjoyment to the user as they limit the features of the phone. Especially the application seen on the Store (Marketplace).

Hope Microsoft study and test first those application being provided by different application developer before releasing it on the Store.
