Counterpoint: Nokia climbs to 4th place in US smartphone market

02 November, 2013
In Q2 this year, Nokia had just 1.4% of the smartphone market, but in Q3 that grew to 4.1%.

Sort by:

The proclaimed pseudo multitasking and millions of apps seems to fizzle out... Go WP and nokia. 1520 would be my next one...the paid trolls are already starting to bite dust..,they just lie anything, everything to get themselves blind ;P

    in max 2 years windows phone are gona be in second place after android in worldwide sales. they just have to keep ading the most popular apps and microsoft reduce the limitations of the os. and people should stop blaming nokia for giving up symbian. if they kept buyng those phones in a big number they wouldnt have switched to windows phone. they would have kept developing symbian. and dont say that android was better 2 years ago. symbian belle was better then android 2.2 froyo that was what most phone used back then

        ex-nokiaman, 03 Nov 2013Well all I have to say is I personally own the Nokia Lumia... moreThis is first realistic view ive seen from an actual Nokia person and wp user. This shows you are a practical user, and understand its not about our Nokia brand anymore but all about management's decision and Microsoft!

        I would have loved to buy the 1520 too but its like throwing 1k usd into the prison of wp. With all its limitations and lack of basic features.

        like ive always said. Its not the camera or map software that makes a smartphone; thats what the Canon and Garmins are for. They cant be replaced.

        Focus and consumer sensitivity disappears when management goes greedy and nonchalant!

                    Well all I have to say is I personally own the Nokia Lumia 1020, own the 920, owned a 925, 620 and 520 and as much as I personally want Nokia to be king again it ain't gonna happen now they sold out to Ms. I probably will buy a 1520 and 2525 but after sale no more Nokia. Anyway I just wanna say is even though the camera is amazing, hacc sound and Dolby sound are amazing it just falls so short with all the limitations that MS have put in place. Yes I know Lumia doesn't need latest and greatest chipset and is smooth, but you always feel the os is lacking, and by lacking I mean simple things like volume control for everything, some decent games, heck even some more useful apps with good support. I know people will hate on me for bringing up the games and app issue and yes I have commented on here before saying I don't need them but it is nice to have them. Another issue is really poor battery life ( yes POOR BATTERY), also bluetooth is just a pain in the ass. My 2012 Nokia 808 pureview has more functions than Wp8 which I don't believe is Nokia's fault so I finally bit the bullet and went and bought a Sony Xperia Z1, closest thing to Symbian yet and a great app store ( even ovi store was better than Wp store). I believe that all us Nokia fans were used as guinea pigs to trial Wp8 and I am over it anyway good luck with your choice people I am out oh by the way GSMARENA love your work, ex-nokiaman
