Sorry to help you with math. Do I see 50% rise in WP (Lumia numbers). You prove my point.

I think what happened is that the Board said to the NOKIA leadership: you guys cant deliver, you are too slow, the transitions and products are not competitive, something needs to be done ASAP. Samsung already made a transition and we are stuck with dinosaur platforms. And we need someone outside of these stale hallways to shake things up. Hence Elop.
It was a desperate, stupid, myopic choice.

You and I werent at those meetings. Lets leave it at that.

Oh, in that case you are wrong.
3.9% - 3.6% = 0.3% increase.
Your move, chump.

@Lumiaman
The definition of winning could be considered as 80% market share, yes Apple has a great eco system, it was around before Android so it was a good starting place.
I am holding off porting my apps to Android which will take a fair few months just a bit longer to see if
QT becomes a viable option.
FirefoxOS becomes a viable option
Android IDE becomes nice
Jolla gets there
Javascript dies horribly in a heap
Java dies horribly in a heap
C becomes the worldwide standard
It used to be ABC, Anything But Chardonnay
Today its ABW, Anything But Windows
Nokia comes to its senses and fixes this horrible mess

Samsung is using Android as a bridge. WP is a bridge to nowhere. The board gave away the farm.
