As long as it beats the analysts' expectations, it's good for Nokia. It means they will get more positive publicity and better loan rates if needed.

Man, I'm looking forward to buying me a WP8 phone with PureView...

Are these shipped figures or sales figures. Because shipped devices shouldn't be counted as sold devices and can't count in revenue.
Anyway I was expecting a very low figure but
Nokia somehow managed to hold on.

It's not that bad. Especially NSN did much better, with net loss 5 times smaller than previous quarter. However, Q3 might be really hard with no WP8 devices yet, and no marketing efforts for 808 (and somehow very bad availability in markets).

I think this is just what nokia needed not good but not to bad either. Nokias heart is still kicking bring out a midrange nokia pureview and push the lumias. Just quarter 3 and than the real fightbak can continue.

Looks kinda alright but I hope Nokia rises again to the top with WP 8 release. I have very high hopes for WP8 and if my hopes become reality, I'd dump my present Android for a new Lumia with WP8.

don't expect positive publicity from pa quite yet...thanks, vh, for another super article...you should work on making it easier for your readers to see through your obvious bias so they can get the actual story...ijs

message i did on MNB

Ok lets see… im trying to figure this out as i go here

Kantar says that in the USA 3% of sales goes to WP
and 0.5% goes to Symbian

Nielsen states that of the marketshare of WP manufacturers in the USA Nokia holds 23%

if that proportion holds true that means of the sales of WP for the 2nd quarter in the USA Nokia is responsible for 0.69% of the 3% WP sales for Q2 according to Kantar (1.155% goes to both HTC and Samsung)

Ok so Nokia didn’t sell more Symbian than Lumia but Nokia surely didn’t sell 500k Lumias out of that 600k

My head is spinning right now so Im not even going to try

But it would seem more like something around 375k Lumias and 225k Symbian phones (absolute ballpark)

Others mentioned that there are still S30 devices being sold in North America (S40 is no longer) I do not know if Nielsen and Kantar grouped S30 into their Symbian figures but I find that hard to believe but they may have

If they did the Ballpark of Lumia sales still holds true if Nielsen/Kantar didn't group S30 into their Symbian figures that would mean that their is a 3rd product line to eat into that 600,000 device figure for North America by Nokia and that would mean even Less Lumias sold than Ballparked

so they have already gone through 75% of their said restructuring and its q3 whats the last thing left. If they can go through q3 under rough conditions, q4 will bring back the wp8 devices.

Frankly I thought the results would be worse....Keep hope alive.

I really hope Windows Phone 8 gets them the success they deserve. With specs being hyped up, even by a good amountaverage consumers, Windows Phone 8 will let them finally make some high end (spec wise) handsets they will attract more sales.

Good day boss! Can you please make a separate article highlighting the better news that out of 10.2 Million smartphones shipped, 4 Million are Microsoft Lumia, 6 Million are Nokia Symbian devices?

Just would like the people to know that despite ZERO promotion, Nokia Symbian devices are still the cash generating smartphones for Nokia.

Thank you so much for your kind consideration. More power! :-)
