Microsoft is trying to get back into the smartphone game, but so far it doesn’t seem to working. AT&T and Microsoft seem to be trying to generate sales of these phones by offering a “buy one, get one free” deal that started on Black Friday:
AT&T and Microsoft today hoped to keep Windows Phone 7 sales and today unveiled a Buy One Get One deal (BOGO) for Black Friday. Those who visit an AT&T store and buy the HTC Surround, LG Quantum or Samsung Focus can get another one of the devices for free. All of them cost $199 and need a two-year contract on each of the two lines for the deal.
Here’s the kicker. There’s no end date to this deal. That’s not a good sign. Given that Microsoft might have sold only 40,000 phones on launch day, it may show that Windows Phone 7 is a bomb. I guess we’ll find out shortly.
