interestingly, I ordered my cyan 2 weeks ago and still didnt get it. There are clearly devices in the stores, but some colors are rarer than others. Not sure what is going on with Nokia.
In the mean time in a galaxy very close (Europe in general), WP user base has grown 4x during the last year. And it is still growing.

You exaggerate by picking a specific region, forgetting the worldwide market share numbers. More importantly, they're still far, far behind most of their competition.

For example: http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/0...phone-canalys/
Normally such a big spike in market share would make tech watchers optimistic. But Pete Cunningham, an analyst at Canalys, remains skeptical about the fate of Windows Phone. He pointed out that shipments in the United States for the Lumia 900 and Lumia 710 were disappointing, even though both were major product releases with big marketing campaigns.
More recently: http://blogs.computerworld.com/windo...-gain-traction
The IDC report says that 5.4 million Windows Phone devices were sold in the quarter, for a 3.5% market share, up from 2.3% a year previously.

Android, meanwhile had 104.8 million units sold, for a 68.1% market share, up from 46.9% a year previous. There were 26 million iPhones sold, for a 16.9%, down from 18.8% a year previous. 7.4 million Blackberries were sold, for a 4.8% share, down from 11.5% a year earlier. And 6.8 million Symbian devices were sold, for a 4.4% market share, down from 16.9 percent a year previous.

I picked Europe, because Europe is the place where people change phones at a most rapid paste. It is also the place with most varying user base regarding what's hot and what's not.

Android is growing, but that is not all that is happening. WP is getting a larger and larger user base, it's the ecosystem with largest relative growth, by far.

WP may never become as large as android, but it may already be large enough to be viable.

That's a very persuasive and well thought out rebuttal. It leaves nobody in any doubt about your level of brain power that's for sure. I also see no reason to doubt you have a perfectly proportioned mouth and that you're just the ideal age for seeing big lines too.

Graph reading and meaningful numbers are a mystery to you. Please shut up now, dork.

Hey Guys and the girl, anyone here knows what a stock is? and if you do, do you know how stock is affected and why? If you do, this is where you share it!
