Another big setback for Microsoft: T-Mobile is dropping plans to introduce a cellphone running Microsoft’s Smartphone operating system, saying it has “fundamental problems” and a high failure rate. So far Microsoft’s attempts to break into the cellphone market haven’t been too stellar. The first Smartphone, the SPV from Orange, isn’t selling as well as initially hoped and earlier this year handset manufacturer Sendo abruptly stopped production on what would have been the second Smartphone handset.
UPDATE: Apparently there was a little confusion over this, and it turns out that T-Mobile will be shipping a Smartphone later this year, they just don’t know exactly when.
