I am following cue's example and doing the sensible thing. Ignore list.

Currently 1.78 but hardly a flat graph. I guess this is a good trend compared to the steady falling.

It all adds up, but you are either too stupid to see it, or too lazy too found out by yourself. The same goes fir Volt. IMO you are simple clouded by , I don't know what exactly. Too bad you put me on ignore, you won't know the truth

Oh look! People in Finland swapping a Nokia phone for a Nokia phone! Who would have guessed! Now, drill into that dense, trolling skull of yours that the average percentage of new phone purchases does not equal the average market share. And by the way, the average Finnish WP market share from February to June is 6.24%, not 8%, so your bogus number of 30% would actually be 22.5% [.0624 / (5/18)]. But once again, for the people playing at home: 6.24% != 30%.

And nice try cherry picking the small, proud country of origin. Very meaningful.

Install base or install user base is a measure of the number of units of a particular type of system—usually a computing platform—actually in use, as opposed to market share, which only reflects sales over a particular period. Although, the install base number is often created using the number of units that have been sold within a particular period. It isn't necessarily restricted to just systems, as it can also be products in general. Because installed base includes machines that may have been in use for many years, it is usually a higher figure than market share. Many people see it as a more reliable indicator of a platform's popularity.

Installed base is not the same as the total number of units sold at any given moment in time (cumulative sales numbers), since some of those units will typically be out of use because they have broken, gone missing, or been made obsolete.
