          It doesn't surprise me at all that Apple came out on top, although I think Samsing will forever remain the much-loved underdog.

          Nokia's phones are getting better and better; while the 1020 is a little bulky, it's still a drastic improvement from their earlier handsets. I think they're doing a great job and hope they continue to climb. Microsoft's backing will boost them further up the ladder in no time.

                        If Nokia have Adnroid...and WP they could sell two-three times more smartphones. WP today still miss something and ofc system is too limited. Adnroid + WP, would be a better choice, much more interesting for consumer. Even Nokia with Anna or Belle is much more functional then Windows Phone after updates. Only idiot adds lock screen, ring settings...after three years :D
                        It is a pity that LG or even Huawei sold more smartphones then Nokia...(Google kills Motorola) 4% for WP after 3 years ? Nokia even with MeeGo can get ~ 3%, Samsung with Bada have 2,8%...such a big company, so huge investments MS and Nokia and only 4%? No one will buy phones from MS without the logo of Nokia, they make good phones but many people want to see it (especially 2010-2012/3) with Adnroid, with their own solutions ;)

                          Do you all really believe that source? It's the first time I've heard about that research firm anyway.

                          The HTC One is realeased on every carrier, Motorola had a new phone in five carriers, and 3 bestsellers on Verizon. Do you really believe the Lumia 1020, the only good seller from nokia is outselling Motorola and HTC?

                          Last time I checked, the other source, the real one said HTC was higher than Motorola and LG was lower. Nokia wasn't even top 6. This source has completely different information that I will not believe.

                            I don't think I will be able to go back to Nokia phone. My time with their lumia phones had been underwhelming. Even as I bide farewell to the One I just moved to xperia z. Windows Phone not for me.

                                      If only Nokia uses AndroidOS... Those spiffy Lumia cameras are what most Android users crave for.
