Analyst survey in Europe disses sales potential for the Nokia Lumia line of Windows Phones
Share:
Out of the 1300 people he surveyed in the five countries the Lumia 800 is on sale starting December 5, he left 456 as the survey sample, since they were the ones intending to get a smartphone. The brokerage house slashed its forecast accordingly, to 800 000 units sold, down from the previous estimate it had of 2 million Nokia Lumia devices sold until year-end, and lowered Nokia's shares rating to "underperform" with the following comments:
We've heard such predictions before, and Nokia has been refuting claims that the Lumia 800 isn't selling well, with some indirect proof for the opposite, but until the numbers are in officially, nobody knows for sure.

It may be behind the blockbusters but I believe it will soon catch the pace and enjoy some of the cake. Android did that, it took start and seen tough competition but then apple was so afraid it was crying like a baby to sue Samsung everywhere. What happened? Android has a bigger share than iOS.
Nokia is coming back. It will take some time but soon it will be back like old times.
I am waiting to change my cell phone and waiting for Nokia 900. I will check its reviews if its up to my expectations, I will buy one otherwise my choice will be android (Samsung most probably)
I will never buy crap*le (sorry i had to drop one "p", the msg below says it may hurt some ishe*ps.

U can't believe bank analysts. They are earning money from stock changes caused by their fake rumours.

So he says nobody will buy

i dont know how accurate the numbers are, but I do know that if the 900 were released it would be selling more than the other 2 combined. the 2 top selling phones are not middle to low range phones, they are "high end". if u want to get in the ring, put out a high end WP7 phone.. something thats been hard to find.

This is so incomplete I don't know where to begin. Did any of the other 800 people already own a smartphone? Is this in the next month, year, or simply next phone? I plan on buying a new smartphone but not for 6 months when my contract is up. Would that put me out or in the survey? My next phone will be a WP7 not sure which one yet(I'm on Sprint and they have nothing). But this survey is too full of nonsense to mess with an outlook for a company!!

I had the same thoughts! Is it just me or does it seems like every analyst coming out of Europe is somehow trying their best to derail Nokia and Windows? Maybe it's just me...
