Its nt even launched in china. I think if they had launched world wide ,then it would have been even better. In india to sell an iphone they provide moneyback plans. Like iphone costs $900, so one will get the same amount of 3g benefits. But still it accounts for 0.2 % of smartphne share. Epic fail.

I think if Nokia give free kinect or xbox 360 for the 100 first buyers its okay because in Indonesia all phone manufacturers always give discounts. E.g : RIM sells bold 9790 with half price, samsung, sony and others give discounts around 120 dollars for every handset they sell for the launching day (sometimes more than a day)

Fact is thats poor sales.Id say theve given away more for demos as i recieved two for free in my store.I have to say im not impressed with the phone and people arnt buying them.Iphone and android are still the most purchased handsets.Wp7 just dosent offer the same customisation as android and certainly not apple.Im sorry guys this is the truth.I use all three platforms and the nokia is the least exciting.Please dont start with the whole malware thing im sure like windows it will only be a matter of time before they start appearing on the lumia and to top it off both of the phones i received are faulty so my confidence is pretty low at the moment.

AnonD-12210, 27 Jan 2012How many handsets did first samsung android phone sell ? Fo... more1. Google android OS was very new when Samsung jumped in the market. Microsoft has experience in mobile division, Windows Mobile has been around even before Google as a company started, Google didn't have experience or a reputation when Android was launched.
2. Did Google give samsung hundreds and hundreds of millions to promote Android? Microsoft gave Nokia around 100 million for Q4 2011 to promote Windows Phone 7, Microsoft is continuing to give Nokia 250 Million every year after that to continue promoting Windows Phone 7. Did Google give away free Xbox 360's, kinects, Playstation 3, Nintendo Wii's or any incentives to even purchase an Android Device?
3. Samsung posted phenomenal operating profits, cash flow, as did Apple, Google, and Microsoft... did Nokia? Oh... they reported 54% loss from Q4 2010...
For all the other post below... you guys need to read again, Nokia didn't sell over 1 million Lumia devices in Q4, that figure is "to date". Lumia 900 a game changer? I thought Nokia fanboys kept crying when Android devices larger than 4" screen were released saying how its too big, yet now Nokia puts out a 4.3" screen and its supposedly a "game changer"? LOL, thats why I enjoy commenting here, so much entertainment.

Ok, Nokia sold arround 1 million WP phones, i the same period they sold around 17 million Symbian Phones. This is in fact 1 million more that last. And Belle is just around the corner. Nokia has revived a lot of money from Microsoft, but was it worth the effort? My opinion is that had Elop not ditched the Symbian platform, and forcused on Symbian Belle and Meego/Meamo they would be better of. the could even have taken in WP but the communication around Symbian and Meego/Meamo has been a disaster.

from financial report is evident that Nokia invested a truck-load with money on WP phones. May be it is too early to celebrate success. So far earned money are less then spent.

Nokia is on its way to reclaim its glory. Only nokia can achieve this. Others managed to sell 1 mil wp7 in more than 1 yr , but nokia managed to do so in 2 months n in limited markets . Btw there is no such free xbox or such thing here in india. Go nokia go..!

I guess you didn't factor in that the fact the Nokia/WP7 jumpstart manage to sell around 1 million in just a few months? In just. A. Few. Friggin. Months. Once the low-end Tango Lumia devices rolls in and WP7 awarness spreads, things will no doubt get dramatic.

cjdelphi, 27 Jan 2012well over 1 million units?... what 1 million and 15? lolits actually a lot less than 1 Million, Nokia's Q4 specifically says 1 Million Lumia devices "to date". Meaning that figure is up until January 26th, when the Q4 was given, their Q4 sales are a lot less and so pathetic.
Notice how the usual nokia fanboys aren't here? They're hiding because they've been shamed, they keep touting, "Nokia is back on top! They're the King!!!" yet even after all that funding and promotional money from Microsoft such as free xbox 360's in the UK, free kinect's in indonesia, WP7 market share is 2.7%. Even microsoft was too embarrassed to discuss WP7 in detail in their Q4 reports.

Wow. Compared to other articles about the Lumia sales, GSM's article sure gives out a lot of negative vibe. They didn't even mention what caused the losses; their navigation services that Nokia users can use for free. Oh well, it's definitely a great start for Nokia and WP7. I hope there will be more to come from them.
