(Reuters) - Finland's Nokia said its fourth-quarter results were better than expected and that the mobile phone business achieved underlying profitability, a rare spot of good news for the struggling handset maker.

 

Quarterly net sales in devices and services was about 3.9 billion euros ($5.09 billion). It sold a total of 86.3 million devices. Smartphones accounted for 6.6 million units, of which 4.4 million were Windows-based Lumia handsets, the company said.

 

Nokia shares surged 16 percent to 3.48 euros by 1315 GMT. ($1 = 0.7667 euros)

Good news. Hopefully HTC sold a similar number of WP's...

OT: Does anyone know what total smartphone sales worldwide were projected to be in Q4 2012?



My prediction threads:

Wii U will sell under 40m units (made on 14th September 2012)

PS Vita will sell under 20m units (made on 30th September 2012)

Wii U will sell under 7m in 2013 - I was right

Halo 4 first 9 weeks sales prediction

PS4 to be down YOY in 2015

Lumia 920 doing some good. Profits and sales will only rise from now on



KillerMan on 10 January 2013

Those Lumia sales don't surprise me as there seems to be some major supply issues still ( I have been waiting my 920 for a month...). With release of 820 and 620 and solving 920 supply issues next quarter will be the real test. Great that they returned to profitability.
