Windows Phone Thoughts: Samsung Blames Microsoft for Mixed Customer Reactions of Q1 Device

"Over a period of several weeks prior to the platform's March launch at the CeBit trade show, Microsoft ran a teaser campaign in which it slowly disclosed Origami details. With few specific details released, expectations were quickly raised among IT professionals, bloggers and journalists about what Origami would be... Consumers who have encountered the Q1 with no prior knowledge are generally positive about the device while those who read a lot about the Origami platform prior to seeing the Q1 have been more negative..."

Did Microsoft overpromise what Origami would deliver or did Samsung fail to execute to the vision set by Microsoft? Maybe a little bit of both? In any case, there are no shortage of excuses as to why Samsung's initial Origami offerings have been met with such mixed reactions. Samsung is planning a second-generation release and is currently looking for ways to improve its usability through the user interface. Stay tuned.
