You're wrong. As the only WP7 (and WP8) OEM that is actively supporting the platform, they stand to benefit greatly due to lack of competition. They have already sold between 3-4 million Windows phones thus far without expanding in to China, India and USA (Lumia 900 just came out) and without going after the sub 200 dollar market. Basicly 2 windows phone 7 phones, sold in limited markets sold 3-4 million units in 5 months (Lumia 710 and 800).That really isn't too bad at all. Samsung Note sold 5 million units worldwide and everyone is saying its a massive success. As the platform grows and Windows Phone marketshare increases, Nokia will have a huge advantage of being the best OEM associated witht he platform. Look a LG, HTC, Sony and Motorolla books in the last year. They are all seeing losses or shrinking revenue in the mobile department and they all only support Android. Only companies that are making money in the mobile sector are Apple and Samsung. |
Bullshit! the galaxy note sold 5 million units to date, in 5 months, and lets be honest thats a niche phone, because of its size alone:

Nokia phones sold often over 100 million and the Lumia 900 hardware is already outdated. Do you trully think that it will keep up, even after the US launch. Lets be honest for a second, Nokia had to shut down their stores in the US, because they had absolutly no brand power there, and they barely sold anything. Their biggest markets, EU and Asia are eaten up on a daily basis by Samsung, HTC and Huawei, and they are in all price segments, and every main Galaxy model sells over 20 million units. And if thats not enoug Apple is stealing a pretty big piece of pie to. US is a lost case for Nokia, and no Nicki Minaj concert will reverse this...
