Well, that would be Motorola's fault, not Microsofts. Unless the OS somehow malfunctioned and killed your phone. :wink:

Agreed. This would be very interesting to know. I think IBM was used because they had a recent announcement with Nokia where the two said they would work together to make the Mobile Office a reailty. So my thoughts are that Microsoft selected IBM's R&D numbers because Nokia's would be harder to determine. How much of Nokia's R&D goes into software? Anything? Does all the software R&D come from Symbian? I think the Nokia side is a little messy, so they went with IBM. just my thoughts.
