For them owning a BB is just enough. RIM just released the BB bold touch 9900 without even the least of the latest spec which i know by now alot of Nigerians will be dying to have.

                yeah, philippines should be added immediately to the list, eversince philippines was a nokia-windows dominated country. and since nokia and windows tie-up, windows phone is higly anticipated in philippines. all the Nseries here in the philippines break the record of every android and iphone handsets. even now, eseries have still impact here in the philippines

                            Get your sources right first. These expansion is only for developers for the moment to submit to countries. Market palce has not opened up in these countries for now. The market place will launch in these countries for consumers only when mango is ready to be rolled out.

                                Samsung is doing great here in Nigeria, all the Galaxies are beating market expectations. Am suprised at the market price and performance of Galaxy Ace. Better off than those outdated Symbian fones. Windows Phone had better remain an American affair and let market leaders (Google, RIM and Samsung) keep providing me with the advanced technologies l ever wanted. nokia WP7 D.O.A. Android Rules.

                                  Very nice to see it coming to Brazil! But I'll go with N9 all the way!

                                      but still not to malaysia.
                                      disappointed.
                                      besides that, all WM n apps requires to paid.

                                      compare to android are way different.
                                      if they make it more free apps n games, i bet more ppl /user will go for WM.

                                      trust me.

Nigeria is a country that has the capability to drive the sales of smartphones. BlackBerry, Nokia and Samsung are enjoying this. Especially BlackBerry that just overnight trippled its sales here.
