But it won't be making any products if the operating system doesn't take off, Uddenfeldt said."</em><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/wpt/auto/1305499803.usr681.jpg" style="border: 0;" /><em></em></p><p>Although Microsoft has been creating a lot of excitement with various announcements regarding Mango, some manufacturers are not jumping on board just yet. Speaking at a forum in recently, the CTO of Sony Ericsson, Jan Uddenfeldt, stated that they would be waiting to see some momentum for Windows Phone before committing to creating a device. Although this is disappointing, it's been a long time since SE put out a phone that was a must-have. Hopefully not all manufacturers feel the same way, as one of Microsoft's key strategies with Windows Phone is to provide the platform on many devices, while still maintaining a consistent user experience.</p>

Sony mobile devices always sound like phones-of-the-gods on paper and PR materials, but fall far short upon release -- they've yet to wow me with a launched device. WP7 isn't missing much...

It has been very long time since SonyEricsson produced a device worth attention, and it's market share so small, that this quote from SE barely worth attention.

Don't forget SE sold over 8th million phones last quarter. Singlehanded they sold several times the total of WP........ just sayin'
