Microsoft has deep pockets and they need to be in mobile to stay relevant (even if they earn more money suing Android manufacturers).

This isn't an argument when their competition has deeper pockets...

lol! True. I meant that they won't throw in the towel like HP did with WebOS devices. Even if the sales of the devices do not take off, they still can force manufacturers to produce Windows Phone devices, I am quite certain that the manufacturers they threatened to sue in the "Android maneuver" got a better deal if they accepted to produce Windows Phone handsets in the future. My tuppence worth.
