Not at all. Nokia has been making "smartphones" for some time now, but most of them haven't been very good, and it's been selling these across the world.
Most of the people with these phones have therefore been switching to other manufacturers for a while now, as Nokia hasn't really had anything to keep these consumers with them. Nokia is of course hoping the Lumia series can turn that around, but they weren't launched until the middle of Q4 2011 and even then, only in a few countries in Europe, where Nokia sells phones around the world!
Nokia loosing marketshare in Q4 2011 shouldn't surprise anyone. What's going to be interesting is what happens in 2012, with the Lumias coming out in more markets and the lineup starts to grow as well.
