Windows Phone 7 sold out in several countries

According to several European mobile operators, pre-orders of Windows Phone 7 are already sold out. In the space of only a few days after mobile operators Orange, T-mobile and O2 started taking pre-orders, the mobile phones with Microsoft’s new mobile operating system are sold out.

Demand has been so great that Orange in the UK has stopped accepting pre-orders for the HTC 7 Mozart. However, it is not clear whether the problem is due to high demand or a lack of phones.

According to rumors, Samsung has problems with the availability of the displays used in the company’s mobile phones. HTC is also rumored to have unforeseen software problems with Windows 7 on several of the company’s smartphones.

According to the British news service Mobile Today, Orange has announced that the lack of availability of mobile phones with Windows Phone 7 affects all retailers.

Should it turn out that the shortage of mobile phones with Windows Phone 7 will be long-lasting, it could mean problems for Microsoft. The company already promised in February that there will be enough phones for this year’s Christmas sales.
