For Nokia, this can only be bad. It means Windows Phone isn't selling enough. For poor people in the 3rd world, it's good.
Academic discussions. Does it surf the web? Can I use Facebook/Twitter on it? can I use mail? Does it have apps? If the answer is yes on 3 of 4, then it is a "smartphone" in peoples eyes.

SGS3s are given away at the moment. The winner is Apple (not a good thing, not even understandable, but a fact, people are purchasing iPhone 4S like never before). The market is over saturated (and the iPhone 5 is "overengineered" sort of), still WP is blooming, even before WP8 has entered.
