Not that it really matters. In few years time the mobile world will be as established as desktop computers are today. No chance of breaking into it. Generic Microsoft manufacturer with razor thin profit margins. Future written off. I'm in a cheerful mode today.
LG signed a similar agreement tow years ago in Barcelona
theoretically they should still have up to 50 (fifty) m$ devices in 2012
they have decided to join MeeGo a few months ago

following up on an agreement, as questionable as it may seem, is another thing then running a company into its ruin (e.g. 50% of stock value lost in less then a year....)
