MS always thinks big bucks, but they don't know how to market their own products, even if they happen to be good. Take for example the Zune. Much better music player than the iPod, but the only people who care about that are people whom are actually really into good audio quality, or silly people who just refuse to buy an Apple product and would rather use the word Microsoft in the same sentence as Apple in order to appear different or cool.
But let's be realistic for a moment. Where is the market for these outdated looking phones ? Do they run the not yet released, new Win Mobile7 OS ? And if so, where's all the hype that it needs ? You'd think that MS would be smart for a change and would follow Apple's lead by not letting new products leak, and would rather have official sources do the PR with much fanfare...
They've learned NOTHING. And as such, will deservedly remain under the radar with such mediocre things such as these ugly and outdated/big phones.
