Business is business. Without marketing (and lots of it) WP/Nokia has no chance.

Re: Let's talk Nokia stock!
 

There is marketing and there is effective marketing. No amount of marketing budget has boosted WP7's share.

Re: Let's talk Nokia stock!
 

The market share of WP in Europe is 2-30%, with great variations around the continent. Finland is the highest (and by some develish mechanism your or not wrong suggesting that marketing has not boosted the share there, it is due to loyal Finns). Elsewhere marketing has definitely boosted the share from nothing to something. 6 M Lumias.

2-30%?

Straight out lies.

WP's biggest market share is in Finland, where it's 8%. In Europe as a whole, it's 1.25%.

Re: Let's talk Nokia stock!
 

LOL :D since when did statcounter count market share of sold units?


This is market share: http://wmpoweruser.com/finnish-carri...share-in-june/

Re: Let's talk Nokia stock!
 

Total percentage is less than 2%. That's what counts. 2% in total man.

30% where? Izmadeupkhstan?

Re: Let's talk Nokia stock!
 

Why, why why are you all just a bunch of Nokia/MS haters to the point of lunacy :D Nevermind that.

Lets look at statcounter. It's rather fun. Statcounter counts hits. It does not count share of sold units. Market share are sold units in a month or Q or whatever. So statcounter gives a rough representation or indication of the total out there. The total Symbian devices, the total iOS devices and so on.

The market share of Lumia (WP) in Finland is 30% roughly Q2 2012. Statcounter shows 8%, which indicates 8% of total users have Lumia. This sounds reasonable.

In Europe in total statcounter shows 1.36% WP. Then we multiply this with 3.7 (the Finnish ratio) and we get 5.1%. So, the market share in Europe for WP is 5.1% or somewhere in the neighbourhood for Q1/Q2 2012.

Re: Let's talk Nokia stock!
 

I love the unofficial numbers and leap of faith you just exhibited. Instead of one unofficial source, can you give me a true source for the sales? Like... Microsoft perhaps?

And I'm not a MS hater. Bought, used, liked the Lumia 900. Switched back to the N9 because I can - well that and I need an unlocked phone for an upcoming trip this week.

Clearly you didn't understand me yet you somehow think you "understand" the blog. The only way you do is that the jist of it is trying to counter Tomi's claims so you are confusing your agreement with understanding. Replying with what basically amounts to "Tomi can't think straight because he hates Evil Elop" is no better than the claim of a contradiction in the article that I picked up already in the blog, with an added "because he hates Elop" that is not even mentioned yet alone implied in that poorly put together piece.

Same can be said for units shipped but you seem to have no problem blurring the line there by claiming them as sold. Then, if that wasn't enough, refering to a non-cumulative sales market-share of one carrier for the month of June as an indication and counter-argument of its cumulative market share or active devices in the wild.

I don't even know why I bother with you. Maybe it's because you're a persistent troll and I fear somebody may actually believe your BS.

Re: Let's talk Nokia stock!
 

Why not multiply up by pi on top of that.

This is too dumb, I don't care to discuss any more with someone who just makes up stuff on the fly to troll troll trollolololol.
