Re: Nokia CEO Blames Salesmen For Windows Phone Struggles

gartner released stat for 2011. the most interesting part which i love to read is the declining of WP. it has been declined 65% since 2010. and now at only 1.9% market share. even bada has more market share than WP 2%.
here is quota from the article:

Quote:

The lion's share still belongs to Nokia, however, and 2012 will be a key year in determining whether the Finnish giant can turn a profit with its Windows Phone devices. The Lumia 710 and Lumia 800 debuts were not enough to stem the fall of WP market share, which saw a 65% decline compared to 2010.

and the LINK FOR ARTICLE

WP7's decline isn't that spectacular. I think we've all stated it was going to happen. Some of us... not as spectacularly aggressive and angst-ridden as mikecomputing, but there's truth between his rants.

With that said... weird not knowing that Maemo/MeeGo share is. Would love to figure out its sales somehow by some metric other than guessing.

Re: Nokia CEO Blames Salesmen For Windows Phone Struggles

That 1,9% are the phones nokia/microsoft sent out to developer. So interms of real customers it is about 0,0%

There seems to be plenty of 'hardly used' Lumia 800s on ebay atm. ;)

"The cutbacks, which will hit manufacturing facilities in Finland, Hungary, and Mexico, brings total planned job cuts to more than 30,000 since Stephen Elop took the CEO spot in September 2010, cites Reuters. And it comes on the tail of bad earnings news: Fourth-quarter smartphone sales fell 31 percent from a year ago, and the company had "a steep loss" for the quarter, according to the wire report."

"As we all know, though, the money -- and the margin -- is in the smartphone business. Nokia's chance to get any significant portion of that market looks bleaker every month. We'll see what Elop has to say at this year's MWC show, starting Feb. 27."

Keep blaming those salespeople, Elop. THAT'S the ticket!

Yeah, just clever to step out of the smartphone market using this crappy Windows Phone for their devices! #strange
