globally I think MS is not as good on growth.... also, any decline in iPhone can only really be tied to Android's continued and sustained growth. :P

Its actually not doing too bad globally in major markets.

Most of them are probably low end but still good, you have to start from somewhere. I think it is not that surprising considering the Lumia 620. That phone is a killer in its price range.

Yeah. I wouldn't be surprised it its a lot of WP7.5 devices as well. In China, india and mexico for example.

One thing I have to say is that the app store on WP8 has been exploding with many quality apps last month. Official Pandora, Gravity Guy 2 (exclusive), slew of other Gameloft and quality Xbox live games, official Disqus app (exclusive), bunch of missing banking apps, Viber with HD voice calling features...etc.

When WP 8.5 (or Blue) comes out this fall and reviewers start reviewing the devices, I'm really curious if they will still keep hammering the "it's got no apps" angle.
