It seems that lies are the order of the day at Microsoft where they have to twist the truth in order to get credit for anything. Poor things, nobody is buying their smartphone so if someone buys a phone that's kind of like their smartphone, only different, Microsoft adds that to the number of SPV sales....

Just wait for Microsoft to start counting sales of Symbian phones for itself because, after all, Symbian is only riding the innovation that Microsoft has made, right? So it's only fair that Microsoft should get the credit, right?

So Orange and Juha are actually talking about two different things. Why they are doing so is also important. Microsoft obviously needs prize partners who're enthusiastic about Windows smartphones and who can be used to encourage more outfits to adopt the platform. So at the moment Orange is Microsoft's special friend; but although Orange must surely enjoy the attention, perhaps Microsoft is not quite so much Orange's special friend.
