Seems he called somebody stupid along the way. After talking about personal insults that's hypocrisy at its best.

He has treated the data from the 1 carrier over 1 month as an average for previous ones for the entire nation and despite every effort to tell him about the poor reliability of doing so it seems he will not get the drift. Why he wants to use several bad estimates to try and match another empirical value is beyond me too. Perhaps he thinks the increased margin of error will help his cause.

You will have a hard time knocking any sense in to him. So please stop replying to his posts, it will make this thread easier to follow for others.
You don't really need to analyse this at all. 8% user statistics on Statcounter does not just pop up by itself. Common sense say this has to be caused by a market share much larger than 8% simply because the Lumia has been available for such a short time. This 8% is about 5-6 times larger than Europe at large. For iOS it is the opposite, iOS is cumulating the user base over several years and even with a sharp drop in market share, this will take time to show.

Statcounter is no exact science. There are all kinds of skewed stuff going on. For instance, iOS users use the internet more than S40 users, the counting itself may be wrong and so on. But there is no huge difference between iOS, Android and WP users. And statcounter does not count WP users different i Finland than other places.
