$450 to sell a single Win 7.5 phone?

[John Kotches]

I don't know if these numbers can be believed, but a report on website The Register (http://www.theregister.co.uk) pegs the marketing costs per Lumia 900 sold at $450. Thats not manufacturing, it's just marketing.

If true this does not bode well for MS in the long run. Rather than try to recap the details, I'll post a http://www.theregister.co.uk/2012/07/16/nokia_lumia_sales_guesstimates/]link to the article.[/url]

In the past two years I have only seen TWO Windows Mobile Phones in the Wild.

In the past two years I have only seen TWO Windows Mobile Phones in the Wild.

I saw 4 of them at one time last week. These were the first 4 I have ever seen. To bad the 4 were being used by our Microsoft reps in a meeting.

Nokia dropped the price down to 49.99. I guess they were not moving at $99.99

Thanks navychop. If true, and if they have to continue at this level of marketing/sale it is not viable.

Time will tell though.

Nokia should have picked Android.

I'm sure the day isn't far off when they will come to agree with you.

Look at the bright side, for those of us who haven't used one yet, used ones will be cheaper!
