Modest success. Should be able to take around 20% of the market, give or take 5%. It will take that because Microsoft spares no expense when it decides to grab a market and because the carriers want platform diversity so they can maintain control. The actual quality of the product is almost beside the point.

Whether that's enough to pay off for Microsoft is another question. Historically, Microsoft has a tough time making money when it doesn't have monopolistic marketshare.


it needs to sell 50 million smartphone in one year, thats half what nokia sell in a year, if u mean smartphone marketshare.

actually if u put the sales of android, iphone and windows mobile together u barely get to 20% worldwide.

if u mean total handset marketshare counting dumbphones, all iphones are not even 1% yearly.
