How are YOU trying to help WP7 and the Lumia sell?

[AElephants]

Because it's the coolest OS of them all, I am doing all I can to make sure it's a success. I talk up windowsphone all the time, and the lumia in particular. I post ads I think are really cool (personally, I think Microsoft's WP7 commercials have been much better than Nokia's) and the most flattering pics I can find of the phone to Twitter and facebook. R/T the stuff that @windowsphone and @Nokia tweet, and try to get all my friends and followers as excited about it as I can.

What else can we do? I dont know what the magic number is for Microsoft to decide whether the phone is a success or a failure, but I want to make sure it's a success.

What are you doing to hype it & generate WP7 love? Showing off your phone to other people?

What other things can we do?

I'm trying to buy it. D:

Stupid college and expensiveness and stuff.

Hey, I don't have one yet either, but that doesn't stop me from talking it up, generating hype, talking to people about all the cool things it does that other phones dont, posting cool ads, and telling people how psyched I am to get one. Ive gotten quite a few people to decide they want to switch.

I'm promoting it to AT&T users and I've written posts strictly on how good a deal this is.

ANother good thing to do is post/share awards like the Best of Show at CES, the really positive reviews -- especially by big names in tech journalism.

Make sure people know that the experts are raving about it too.

Think I may have made another convert today. Microsoft should be paying me!

Nice, there should be a formal referral program. When people register their WPs, there should be a "did someone refer you to WP?" question. Then you enter their WL ID and they get like a $2 marketplace credit.

Took my other-half to the AT&T store while I drooled over the Lumia 900. But then I got distracted playing with the phone than trying to impress him with it. One of these days I will get it, and "wow" him with it.

[AElephants]

He wasnt interested at the store? Gotta work on him!

If he wasn't immediately wowed, then, wow, he has high standards! :P

Or bad taste, or he could just be a brainwashed fanboy. And millions of people own iphones, not because they're in love with it, but just because it's trendy.

Hey, let's not insult the man, we don't even know him!

Not meant to be insulting! just possibilities.

Got an iphone owner interested in the Lumia today, maybe an android guy too.
