Nokia, King of Windows Phone Market

After the partnership with Microsoft and intoruciong the New "Lumia" series, Nokia is now the KING of Windows Phones Devices Market.

Tom Farrell, VP of Nokia Middle East told Gulf News, "Our strategy is working. When we formed an alliance last year with Microsoft our intention was to regain lost share. After one year, it is still working. We are the number one Windows phone in volume in the world. Our momentum is accelerating." Farrell added, "We plan to introduce and bring to markets new and more affordable products with more modern user experiences with Windows Phone in 2012. We will launch Lumia series when Arabic support is ready."

Kantar Worldpanel latest survey for the 12 weeks ended February 19th shows that sales of the Nokia Lumia 800 models made up 87% of Windows Phone sales in the U.K. during that period. That also helps fatten the Finnish firm bottom line since the average selling price for Nokia handsets last year was only €140 OR $186 USD.
