3 x 5 =/= 12
3 x 5 = 15

2,759,000 in Q4 2011
2,759,000 * 4.6 = around 12,000,000

Much better when you provide real numbers. Thanks.

Courtesy of massive price cuts is the real reason for higher sales.Ive seen loads of carriers across the board finally give up and have to take drastic messures to clear the huge back log of unsold windows phone stock.My store cut the price of an off contract Nokia lumia 800 from 450 bucks to 150 for instance,I've seen it even cheaper with other carriers. The 610 and several other wp had their prices cut to bargain basement prices. In Europe the lumia 800 must have been the top budget price Xmas present this year

were you on here complaining when iphone 4 and 4s got their prices cut when iphone 5 came out? what about the galaxy s2 when the s3 came out? cell phone manufacturers have been doing this for years. and the fact that it's around christmas time means even more price cuts to increase sales. that has been going on for years also. the carrier cares less about the price of the phone, they care more about getting you locked into a 2 year contract. that's where the money is made.

This is pre pay Im talking about and the warehouse full of unsold 2012 stuck has to be shifted somehow,people didnt want them till they were reduced to about 20% of the rrp unfortunately,at that price the lumia 800 for instance is just a bit more than the galaxy y or galaxy ace,both bottom priced entry level handsets.

its not about profits dude..they're trying to gain market share n they're going all out...more market share means more app development n more sales in future...so they're actually investing money in the market and its us users that gains from all this..hope they succeed...

you dont really read reports very well do you? tell ppl in china that cant get a lumia 920T that there are warehouses full of unsold 2012 stock. show me an article or anything where there is overstock for the lumia 920. it's easy to make claims with nothing to back you up.

Nokia will never choose Android i hope, Android is not al that good i use ICS but man i will glad to to another device without Android. ICS is a laggy and slow os

Eww Android.. don't defile Nokia with that dirty OS ;)

You guys are not true supporters of Nokia, you are WP fanboys.

For you Nokia doing badly with WP is much better than Nokia is successful with Android.

Who would buy this piece of crap ..ATIV LOL!

22. Dunknown (Posts: 84; Member since: 23 Jul 2012)

Ativ is a ugly design. It doesnt fit with WP. It doesnt deserve to call as WP

50. Ruckus (Posts: 286; Member since: 20 Oct 2011)

Ativ reminds of the Galaxy S3 in many ways. By the way the Lumia 920 weighs a little more because its a better build. Meanwhile we sell Samsung GS3s which are light but break so easily.

if android can standardise to 5inch 1080p screen with quadcore snapdragon s4 (phone) and tegra 4 (tablet) i bet the android apps will 3 times more than the ios, and iphone 5 will instantly turn into the dust

You deserve more likes....

15. fouadqr (Posts: 326; Member since: 21 Nov 2012)

and u deserve more dislikes

That's what I was thinking, somewhere around ten million.
Meanwhile, iPhone alone probably raked more than forty millions.
And there's just nothing exciting or competitive on the WP horizon for the next 6-9 months

Do you think Nokia (the major WP seller) is sleeping around their flagship NL920?
Two things:
- Q1 2013 will be a blast in WP sales in China
- In February you'll see some bright news from Nokia
