          In North America, South America, Europe, Middle-East/Africa, and Asia-Pacific all reports of decreased sales of mobile devices. The only Region that posted any increase was china, and lets face it, China is behind on the curve when it comes to trends, they all believed that nokia was still a high end device back in 2010.

          Price of Converged Mobile devices(smartphones) decreased from 186 euros to 156 euros, indicating that a very very large portion of the smartphones sold were cheap low end devices. Face it, Nokia was losing ground long before Elop took helm, you fanboys are just blaming him for being CEO during this time.

            im an android user.a question to all android fanboys.
            1.do you expect people to buy android by bosting about it and putting hate comments.here??they will hate andoid further more and stick to symbian/WP.
            2.why there is so much hate to nokia,they introduced lot of tech,they brought cellphone to the masses and still have capable device(N9/808 pureview)
            3.seriously android is not perfect,it has lot of flaws,with each update they remove some bugs and add a lot more.i had updated my s2 to ics but due to some freezing and battery issue i reverted to cynogenmode ics.
            4.windows phone devices are good better than iphone.id put money on WP rather than iphone.
            5.when nokia fanboys say wp8 is coming they are not boasting about some cooked up dream project.i have read wp 8 leaked features and its amazed me.if its good ill put my money on a lumia wp8 device rather than a galaxy s3.

              AnonD-1312, 01 May 2012Cmon, Android started so bad too, no people are even rootin... more#FACT, Android launched initially ONLY in the US.
              #FACT, Android first launched on the HTC G1, HTC at the time wasn't even a well known handset maker.
              #FACT, Android launched only on T-Mobile, the smallest of the four major US carriers.
              #FACT, Google had no experience in operating systems at the time of Launch.
              #FACT, aside from phone fanatics and nerds, no one knew of the G1.
              #FACT, google doesn't pay any of the mobile manufacturers any money for marketing.

              #FACT, WP7 launched on both TMOBILE and AT&T straight at launch as well as EU and UK.
              #FACT, WP7 had support from LG, HTC, Samsung from the get go making devices for it.
              #FACT, WP7 Microsoft pays developers to develop apps for WP7 and gives incentives for carriers.
              #FACT, Even though Microsoft gave Nokia 250 MILLION USD to help market Lumia devices, WP7 saw a decline of market share for MARCH 2012.
              #FACT, NOKIA barely sold a total of 600,000 Lumia devices for Q4 2011 even though they were giving away free xbox 360's in some markets.

              I see that you mentioned that Nokia N8 sold 3 million devices in one quarter, care to provide any data? The only article that suggest anything even close is from one source, a FINNISH analyst. Not IDC, not Nokia, no one else confirms this.

                Anonymous, 02 May 2012Lumia 610 with 256MB RAM and 800Mhz single core with no lag... moreAgain, that video doesn't prove anything and is the official video presentation of the lumia 610 and doesn't prove how Android is laggy, again you are some brainwashed fanboy who doesn't have an opinion of his own and bases his opinion of what others on this site are saying, news for you. Gsmarena was once home to Nokia fanatics like yourselves, now you'll find a lot of former Symbian fanboys have converted to other platforms where Nokia failed them. Don't you think if any OEM of Android showcased their Gingerbread 2.3 variant running a single core 800 mhz processor, they would advertise it as being buttery smooth too, for which I'll have you know, is as smooth, if not smoother than that Lumia 610 or whatever it's called. Do you know what smooth is before even posting a nonsensical argument, multitasking between apps all whilst playing games that require a beefy processor and browsing the web with downloads without any jittery performance, something that your beloved OS lacks for now. Is that why WP8 will adapt dual core/multiple core platforms and leave your beloved dinosaur operating system that is 7.5 out in the cold without an update as your handset will be rendered obsolete and unable to run smoothy the WP8 experience. Something which Elop said that highly contradicts his original statement of there being no need to adapt multicore. Android may not be perfect with updates but at least I know i can play with ICS optimised apps with my Gingerbread powered phone as smoothly as I can with ICS. Oh, and take your cheap advertising junk off this website, lol!

                    Lumia 610 with 256MB RAM and 800Mhz single core with no lag here. Android lags with any core or amount of ram.

                      wll, 01 May 2012Symbian outperforming Android? OMG, what fackin planet are ... moreNokia went down only bcoz they ditched symbian evn before accepting wp7 . If u look at december 2010 , n8 sold 4 mil in 3 months , but after elop's announcement ,its sales went down.so its nokia losing and others picking up the bits fallen.Samsung sells galaxy y at same price as asha series , but the former is a smartphne. But asha is nt .so in smartphne sales that helps a lot.

OMG, what fackin planet are you living on, whatever your smoking I want in. The sales figures suggest otherwise, Nokia loser. Nokia declining, Apple and Samsung rising. Hell, even Huawei's weakest handset can outperform the symbian flagship that is the 808 pureview. You are what you are, a deluded Nokia fanatic that has no grasp of the market and reality. Yes, Symbian, like Nokia, was once strong and almighty, however now, it is a shell of it's former self with even Nokia abandoning it for Windows Phone. If Nokia had stuck with MeeGo, maybe there would have been more Developer interest for the platform and Nokia itself wouldn't find itself in the impending position of being bought out by Microsoft for being an absolute failure. Nokia has the technology and research, but refused to ultimately bring anything to market that wasn't a half baked and half finished product. Success stories, 3310, 6310i and Nokia N95. That was then, this is now.

Hate on Android all you want, but at least come up with an original argument other than the ;baaah; sheep argument. Android copying IOS. HAHAHAHA! Please, what a joke you are. Believe all what your deceased master said, if anything you'll find that IOS has copied and taken features from Android and still lacks the features is IOS 5 that are present in Gimgerbread for god's sakes. Dude, come back when you have opened your mind to to other platforms other than Symbian, which is a dying breed.

                                  [deleted post]And why do i need to use inferior OS like WP? I have Galaxy Note and its the best phone out there.
                                  And 2016? so its a dead OS its like when your doctor says you have 2 years to live until the cancer kills you so you are a dead man.
                                  But Android will remain forever and its getting way better.

                                    -And i said less than 800 MHZ read what i did say not 800 MHZ because there are Android phones run at 500 MHZ
                                    WP is power hunger CPU and has the worst battery life in GSMarena battery tests and its dead boring with nothing special
