Nokia was the top handset manufacturer in 2011 says report
Share:
Nokia shipped 417.1 million handsets in 2011, including 113.5 million in Q4 alone. According to the report, the Finnish based manufacturer was led by its dual-SIM powered low-end models in Southeast Asia. Initials shipments of the Windows Phone packed Nokia Lumia did not make up for the decline in Symbian powered models. With 327.4 million handsets sold in 2011, Korea's Samsung was number two with a 21.1% share for the year. For the last three months of 2011, Samsung sold 95 million units for a 21.3% marketshare. The company was led by its popular Samsung Galaxy S II unit.

Where are you from? I can't really think of anyone that I know that has a Nokia.

The new Lumia series from Nokia seem's to be a hit so far, over a million sales in only 6 or 7 countries (not including the United States). Maybe Nokia N9's.. but about from that I agree.. 50 people seems too high a number for 2011/2012.

Keep in ind Nokia has very strong non-smartphone sales, especially in "developing countries", that is, countries that until recently didn't even have cell phones, or if they did, were only for the very rich

I think it's pretty clear that there will be an N8 successor of some sort now (mynokiablog has prlenty of evidence of this happening) but it will be a Symbian device first. The photo processing software for WP7 isn't as robust as Symbians yet and so it seems reasonable that if Nokia had an n8 successor it would be symbia first, as it would be bad to come out with it on WP7 and the photo's not be that good.

I can't see any way how Symbian is as good as Windows Phone 7. That's the reason everyone swapped AWAY from Symbian!

Try both and you'll see. WP7 is great, but Symbian is as customizeable as Android, (possibly moreso) if you know what you're doing. It's just older

we are on a different environment...
remember... we are on school.. you are on a company.
our parents gives us money... while you earn more money than us... which means you can afford those expensive android phones while we students cant..
remember... you earn your own money while we beg for it...
and in reality... the 94% android users that you mentioned really dont know how to use THE ANDROID... =D

The reports of their demise have been greatly exaggerated?
(Well, maybe not 'greatly' but Nokia is still a major player.)
