But aren't they selling like gangbusters in Europe?
- iaskwhy 13y agoI don't think they released numbers per continent/region. Maybe they sold most of the 8m units in Europe. For comparison, Apple expected to announce between 50 to 59m iPhones sold last quarter. The results are usually a little bit better than the official guidance so maybe 60m. That means Nokia sold around 13% of what Apple probably did with the iPhone.
- huxley 13y agoSadly for Nokia, the majority of their sales will likely be the low margin 52x and 62x Lumias.
- runn1ng 13y agoThey still do have strong brand here, but I would compare it to BlackBerry over there in US/Canada... people sort of know it, but nobody really buys it.
- yulaow 13y agoIn some zones yes, in other nope. Anyway it seems that now worldwide they are under 3% (at least reading the article) and in the previous trimester they were around 3.4%, so they are losing ground. As other said in some sites, it is necessary to have a critical mass at least in US OR in CHINA. And in those markets wp is really... nothing.
- daliusd 13y agoFinland - maybe, anywhere else - meh. I see sometimes people with Windows Phones, but Android is ruling in the Europe. Nice table here: http://cdn3.tnwcdn.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files/2013/12/Chart-Kantar.jpg http://cdn3.tnwcdn.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files/2013/12/... I guess people who don't have money might buy Windows Phones as they are slightly cheaper (subsidies from MS?) but that is considered poor choice.
