I suggested at the start of the year that the Bloodbath would be bloody, many rivals would rush in, and the big incumbent smartphone makers would have to yield some space to the newcomers like the Android smartphone makers. Nokia has been incredibly resilient and feisty. Since the start of the year even as Android grew from 5% in December to 24% global market share today. You would expect that to hit all major smartphone brands. Yet in the same period - Nokia grew from 39% to 41%. I think that is very good performence in the smartphones bloodbath. And this was clearly not something I had expected..
