Apple, RIM, Palm, Nokia, Google, all out source the manufacture of their phones to other parts sources and factories for assembly. A few like Sony, Samsung and LG make much of their own parts and assemble them in some of their own factories. But many of even these Phone makers outsource assembly in China these days.
So what's your point? Microsoft is no different than most of these phone making companies I mentioned above. But they all do their own R&D for the phones themselves and have their own Operating Systems!
@Mathew Come on Mathew you took the sucker punch bait from that idiot on the name when we already know it's going to be known as WP7 Phones and that's no worse than "iPad" or having to say "Apple iPhone 4 phone! haha...... which is about as tongue tying as it gets. If you're bent on being ridiculous about a phone I'll laugh more at iPhone 4 phone than Win Phone 7 phone any day!
