If that would be true, the stock numbers would have been
bad even in times when there was no WP/Elop and only Symbian
which is not true for e.g. April 2008.

The drop in July/August 2008 seen here

is a clear indication that Apple iPhone 3G (released July 2008

grabbed Nokia by it's *****.

Reality:
"...Market share for Windows Phone has dropped in recent months, according to market watchers. Microsoft hasn’t shared publicly the total number of Windows Phones sold to date. One of my inside contacts said that number is around 3.5 million handsets, which, if true, is definitely nothing to write home about.

For sure MS would announce the numbers if they were something
to be proud of.
