Just shows doesn't it 3rd place..... with a meagre 5.2%
Samsung utterly dominate smartphones right now. |
But still a lot better than those Windows smartphones isn't it. Give it a couple years and Sony will rival Samsung. They already got the better phone in the Xperia T and V.

Don't confuse handset manufacturer marketshare with OS marketshare.
i didn't realise this thread was purely to give you the opportunity to have a dig at MS. MS don't make phones.
I expect Nokia to take 3rd spot in the next year or so in smartphones and cement their current second spot as worlds second largest mobile phone maker (Nokia has 23% market share (Sony 2%)).

Interesting to see Sony quoted as saying they are "watching closely" the windows 8 situation with a view to launching windows 8 phones along side their new windows 8 tablets and windows 8 vaio's.

What you did not say is that the number of phones Nokia shipped are not all smartphones, a huge percent of them are cheap for-3rd-world-countries Sub $100 set.
Nokia lost its ground the day they entered into agreement with Microsoft. Almost no one cares about Windows operating system on the phones, the 2 percent OS marketshare says that. I don't see Nokia grows from now on unless they abandon Windows OS.
