According to the same despatch, in the UK, Symbian dropped from 15.5% in January 2011 to 2.8% in 2012 and in that same tempo, Windows Phone went from 0.4% to 2.2%. That’s a leviathan drop for Symbian and a respectful gain for Windows Phone.
Due today, I had some conversations about Nokia and how their marketing has to be helping Windows Phone out greatly. The consensus was they were without a suggestion of a doubt with one person pointing out how well Nokia’s Windows Phone models were selling in Europe. We have very hardly to go on as far as sales in the US since Microsoft isn’t sharing sales figures and the Nokia Lumia 710 on T-Mobile being the only replica ready for public consumption. We’ll have to wait for AT&T to release some Lumia honey to the masses. I also think that Verizon and Sprint definitely need to be on directorship for Windows Phone and Nokia to do well in the US.
Nokia has had some real nice perceptive phones over the years, but in the US, Nokia is known for their feature phones. Sure, geeks have gone out and bought unlocked Nokia tuned in phones at full retail, but the masses are buying subsidized phones from carriers. AT&T sold the Nokia E71 with some attainment, so I believe that the Lumia lineup can do well here. The trusted name in feature phones might equate to credit in the smart phone game. I don’t know how many consumers are still buying main film phones, but I am seeing more low-end Android phones out there than cheap dumb phones.
