            Simple analysis... WP selling more because of $200-250 price range. New BB10 at $350 over so selling less. Old BB selling more because of cheap phones.

              just check the links below and plz don't rply to..i didn't wanted to jump into all this but your comment about Android being open made me think may be its time people should realize what's actual open OS means.

                  Just wondering how much WP can be sold by MS, assuming Nokia is not using WP. Most users is respecting Nokia not MS.

                    way to go MS/Nokia. Android is far ahead but in a year or two gaining 2nd spot is not that difficult.

We need phones that work well, not phones that stands out to be different like Windows Phones. WP is so different that it cannot even handle simple file operations at all. :/

                                    I don't like WP, it's locked down, limited, and progress from MS is really slow.

                                    I don't like iOS either, but at least Apple really trying to innovate every year. They're walled garden, but can be jailbroken easily as you like it.

                                    The only thing I like from MS is full Win 8.1 on tablet. Not RT, mind you, the full Win8 one. RT is dead.

                                      Carol, 03 Feb 2014Realy? Please tell me a better software then microsoft offi... moreCarol, lemme help ya refresh yer memory.
                                      "Please tell me a better software then microsoft office, name the one they copied"
                                      Well, as a suite, none, but Microsoft built MS Excel based on Lotus 123 and MS Word based HEAVILY on wordperfect. Ok, they were first in the windows environment but everything has a start and Microsoft started copying.

                                      ". Name the system before windows '95 whom microsoft supposed to copy then help iapepeople to do the same." Again, your memory seem to fade here, just like those Crapple fanboys seems to have a selective ammnesia. But ok. Microsoft is copying Apple's System since System 6 and Ms Windows 3.0. Just compare Crapple's System 6 and WIndows 3.1. A
                                      nd Windows 95 is "based" on System 7, so "based" that Apple moved an injuction against Microsoft but they somehow manage to set a deal offcourt. I bet that you forget, also, that uncle Bill was who "invested" a large sum of money when Crapple was almost bankrupt and Steve Jobs was returning to the company.

                                      "Name one company doing the tablet before 2002, yes microsoft announced a tablet way before it's time and nobody gave a damm besides iapepeople, who lounched it as their own ideas."
                                      Have you forgotten Crapple Newton? How could you! Well, in fact Microsoft has a handful of firsts when it comes to tablet and stuff back in 2002, but who cares?
                                      Microsoft had all in their hands, the fist true smartphone OS with Windows C.E and mobile and the fist decent Tablet tech. But, everytime Microsoft does a firts they do it poorly, besides the fact that the idea behind it is really revoluctionary. Just remember the first XBOX, Zune, MS Bob, Win G and even Kinnect, just to name a few.

                                      Microsoft, dear friend, is the true responsible for the PC revolution, not Apple, nor Google. Amen to that.
                                      If it was for Steve Jobs, we were using Apple Lisa's derivations to this day, paying a burlesque sum just to have a crappy PC and Google, well, Google is Google. Crappy services "for free".
                                      But i assure you, Microsoft is no better than the other two.
