That, at least, is the takeaway from comScore MobiLens's report for the three months between February and May. The researcher found that Microsoft's share of the smartphone market grew just 0.1% over that time to 4%. That's also a 0.4% drop since January. Year-over-year, Microsoft's share fell 1.9%, according to comScore.

The metrics come despite glowing reviews for Windows Phone 7 from Mashable editor-in-chief Lance Ulanoff, among others. Microsoft has also given Windows Phone 7 a respectable amount of marketing support, including a TV campaign in February featuring Ben "The PC Guy" Rudolph, an evangelist for the platform, who has set up challenges pitting Windows Phone 7 models against the competition.
