I don't know what the margin of error is in those numbers but I suspect the 'increase' will be within it.


When absolute numbers are very small percentages can seem very impressive to those who lack understanding.

Despite a huge marketing spend (program after program I see on TV these days is 'Sponsored by NOKIA Lumia'), product release after product release, plummeting ASPs and skinny margins what have NOKIA got to show for it? An increase in market share that could just be a rounding error.

They're supposed to be making a huge push and all they've actually done is grow at the same rate as the overall market.

I look at most of their competitors and NOKIA are making much nicer hardware. LG's phones are so anonymous now I can't even think of one without Googling it yet they're outselling NOKIA. Why? Why aren't the Lumias selling in much higher volumes? The answer's obvious, if you're honest you must know it too.

Samsung sells bucket loads of Androids, when they put Windows Phone on the same hardware it doesn't sell. What more needs to be said?
