CES 2012 has just finished and I came across the challenge “SmokedByPhone” [REF-02].

You can watch the videos on YouTube [REF-03]. The challenge results are interesting, specially for a phone OS which have only about 1.5 % of the global phone shares market (see my previous entry on that).

Overall results for Windows Phone 7.5 (aka Mango):

• 30 wins.
• 3 loses
• 1 draw

=> 88% wins. Not bad !!

Let’s see by the end of 2012 where Windows Phone will be – Nokia and HTC launched this week new phones in USA, that should boost Windows Phone sales and shares market.

Ok, I might seem a bit too “Pro-Windows Phone”, but I do think  that Microsoft has done a tremendous OS for the phones, specially around the “people hub” for communicating with people and social networks. People should have a try at it before buying their new phone!
