if you compare Windows Phone 7 sales to pre Windows Phone 7 sales its selling very well and gaining in sales
Sure, just because Windows Phone 7 sales before Windows Phone 7 were zero. Everything non-zero will be a gain comparing to zero.
The drawback is HTC and the others make a better Android Phone than they do the Windows Phone 7. For instance better camera's on the Androids and very few Windows Phone 7 have the Memory slot.
Maybe it's because Windows Phone 7 does not support user-swappable memory cards, no? What's the point of memory slot if you can't use it?

And it is certainly impossible to equip Windows Phone 7 with better hardware than Android. It's because Windows Phone 7 currently runs only on single platform, Qualcomm Snapdragon QSD8250 and Adreno 205 GPU.
This platform is now outdated. Android devices can use newer hardware but WP7 devices can't. These are limitations that Microsoft puts on WP7.
Thats the bad of third party hardware manufacturers
You can't even use your own mp3 as a ringtone on WP7. And you probably think it's "the bad of third party hardware manufacturers", not the bad of Microsoft.

Not even going to comment on your first zero comment you dont get it the first time you wont understand the second time around.

The memory slot idea is brilliant. For example the iPhone is hard set on memory no expansion so Apple must make multiple versions of the phone. With the Microsoft phone you get the one phone and add as much memory as you believe you need. If your iPhone runs out of memory guess what you have to sell it and get a new one with more memory. With the Windows Phone 7 you just replace the memory. No need to sell and buy a new one. One phone you choose how much memory you need. Sure its not swappable but if you run out of 32+ internal memory on a phone with a 5megpixel camera and 720p video your just being a hog about something.

Now for those and the ones without a memory slot also With Microsofts online cloud you dont need to swap memory cards you can upload to the cloud and log into your pc and the pictures and movies you recorded are there and downloaded to your PC. Sure it would be nice but its first gen the iPhone is on its 4th and still doesn't have a memory slot and its selling well.

There is nothing out there that requires a dual core cpu in a phone that 99% of the people need and the apps are written with the lowest common denominator like many PC games are held back because they are written with Wii, 360, PS3 in mind for maximum sales. I dont know of any applications that currently require a dual core chip in a phone so its overkill currently. Sure it will eventually be needed but not today. When you can name 50 must have cant live without apps on the device that require that dual core you will be right otherwise they run fine on a single core 1ghz proc.

I do believe the Windows 7 phone manufacturers should have 8 megapixel cameras with full 720P video recording not VGA and reduces FPS at 720P with a better lens on the device and a front facing camera even if it doesn't use it currently.
