Knew windowsphone8 was gonna make a huge impression and it doesnt stop here. There's still work to do before overtaking android and ios. Dont think it will be too long.

    AnonD-78526, 30 Apr 2013I don't know why there is so much fuss about US only. I me... moreI dont think gsmarena is being biased. They posted stats for europe too. Seen that of china and all. Besides U.S is one of the biggest markets so i dont see why stats in Fiji islands should be posted ahead of that in U.S.(no disrespect,just an example)

          Good to see Apple on the slippery slope downwards.
          if they keep going and going and microsoft take over then maybe apple will realise they cant charge the absolutely stupid prices they do for them.
          Bye bye apple

                  I don't know why there is so much fuss about US only.
                  I mean only 5% of total world population is cared about most things, what about other 95%.
                  We don't live in US, still we need hear their each update. GSMArena please post results of each country or please refrain yourself from placing post of your origin country. Thanks !!

                          Of course WP will rise, it's not simply an OS, it's part of a full echosystem.

                            if WP continues to grow like that it will soon catch up Android and IOS, just to remember that WP it's a child comparing to the other ones on top
