Oh well. Another case of "wait till the official numbers come out." I'm personally not too concerned with how well or poorly Microsoft's WP has been doing over the last couple of quarters because all that matters is how well consumers receive WP8 and W8.

The reports are conflicting but anyway, my wish is for Windows phone 8 to be a hit and for Nokia to slowly regain their market position. Of course, this won't happen overnight. I will be getting the first WP8 phone that Nokia releases, i won't even have to think about it.

Wait, someone for the purposes of making it sound like a big deal finally decided to separate WM from WP7 in the marketshare numbers?

Bulls**t.

I've yet to see anyone in NYC using a Windows phone. Where in the heck did they sell those Lumia 900s? India?? (I know Windows and RIM are still pretty big there)

I'm excited for WP8 and W8 but Microsoft should get live demo models in stores at least a month in a half before launch so sales reps can get familiar with the OS and actually show customers what WP8 and W8 is all about.

This makes more sense than the last report because I randomly see lots of people with Nokia Lumia 900 when I walk around especially the cyan color which you can tell from a mile. This wouldn't happen 3 months ago. So one would assume that there's got to be at least some growth in WP market share.

This report makes sense. There was too much marketing and AT&T's and Amazon's sales numbers were too high for it not to be doing well. Not GS2/3 well, but decently well

hello everybody i hope the best for you all. Microsoft windows 8 Phone operating system is using the same OS system core that Microsoft is using on Desktop/laptop computers. windows servers and tablet computers. one of the good things it does is insures that Windows phone 8 will be around a long long time and not last 2 years like the Windows phone 7 series smart phones on sale right now. That is why AT & T, Verizon, and other carriers are now backing Windows phone 8. Windows 9 and 10 will also probably use the Windows 8 core operating system but may have New features added to them. The main question is will the metro start screen on Desktop/Laptop computers remain the first screen Windows 8, 9, and 10 computers boot up into. There is so much resistance to this I predict that Microsoft will give Windows 9 users the option to boot right directly into the Metro desktop screen instead of the Metro start screen because this will make the Enterprise and a lot of regular PC users happy.
