So, what is happening in the phone industry? Clearly statistics shows WP is getting a hold. Not a firm grab by any stretch of the imagination, but instead of just one little finger, it is now holding with two stronger fingers. All this is thanks to Nokia. If you study statcounter, look at weekly charts, WP is at 13% now in Finland. It will climb some more, but not much due to WP8 coming. Symbian and iOS has peaked in Finland, Android is still going strong. Germany (for instance) is very different. iOS has peaked there as well, but this is mostly due to Android since WP is only at 2%, too small a number to interfere. But it has increased steadily. What is happening? Finland is the precursor. WP8 will eat into the Apple, Android will be unaffected (for some time). This is also what operators want and what Samsung, HTC etc want. This will happen.
