I think it is way to premature to write off WP.  Microsoft has billions of free dollars sitting in the bank and I would predict they will outlive BB.  They have made strategic actions in the market place to give them a real shot at being a contender with market share.  Europe will play a role in the market share, as WP seems to be expanding faster there.
All the billions of free dollars in the world can't force people to buy something, and judging by the reception it's gotten thus far, basically nobody cares about Windows Phone at all. Microsoft can throw all the money at it that they like, and that won't change; the question is simply when they'll decide they've flushed enough money down the toilet.
