Re: Lovely hardware
To be fair, the odds of the X "setting the world on fire" were pretty slim.
For starters - yes, it was Android. But it was their own branch of the AOSP, as opposed to the standard Google E3-in-progress that makes up the bulk of the market - so no Play store, and therefore pretty slim pickings on the apps front. Plus the fact that the Franken-face between Android and WP just didn't really work either did not help.
And then Microsoft put the kybosh on it before it had any real chance to get going...
