I live in Romania. And here most of the people use Android. 90% of the people that i know use Android, and i don't have even a friend that has Windows Phone.

Dear all,
I have red some of the comments and decided to post one.
In Romania, most people use android. There are some who prefer IOS but not many. This is not due to the fact that the Iphone is a bit more expensive. When I got the S2 then S3 and now the S4( s5 pre-ordered)... I did not even consider buying and Iphone due to the lack of options when it comes to after-market products, the small display and almost no customization. The Win phone offer a middle-ground, at'least that's what some of my friends say. People how are overwhelmed by Android and do not understand the system, tend to go for Win-phones. I have 2 friends that work at Orange and Vodafone, they say that people within 35-55 years tend to buy win phones. Young people go for Android and IOS. There is 1 more factor to consider.99.5%Romanian use Windows on PCs and think that windoes phone will be the same :D easy to use due to experience on win'pcs. Sorry about the bad English. Cheers

A lot's of people forget one thing. Wp OS is trademark of... Microsoft! There is someone who believe that Microsoft is not able to deal with an operating system? Microsoft desktop OS's have 91% of marketshare in their segment! Can we compare desktop OS's complexity with mobile OS's simplicity? I think no. In mobile market Microsoft is from begining of this niche since early 2000 when the only concurrent was Palm OS! All biggest company uses Microsoft product for their businness but for a healtly IT market, Microsoft "decided", maybe pressed by groups of interest, to let other competitors like newcomer google and rival apple to get traction in mobile segment with their products. Let's imagine a world with windows os's anywhere?! Not ok! In his history, Microsoft crushed his concurrence, it's a marketing machine! Concurrence is good for consumers and for Ms itself. Without concurrence there is no innovation. So, for the moment, Google-android and Apple-ios are the winner! But this will end sometime because Microsoft is buid to make profit and to increase his marketshare.

I got two of my co-workers using Lumia 625. And they loved it specially the outlook email app. Its so clean and intuitive. Also the polycarbonate body is just so sturdy. The thing is that's what I really need for a company smartphone. I guess we will be all switching to lumia now for our company phones.

Yeah, sure, we all got the 520, which was free on the contract, for our parents, because the feature phones are almost nowhere to be found, don't be fooled about the news, because in Romania almost everybody starts to hates WP soon after the acquisition.They only buy a WP because of the Nokia brand.

Windows Phone marketshare can only go up. The OS is way underrated IMO.

Windows outselling apple in Romania. Only because windows phones are cheaper. Although windows and iPhone are not my cup of tea.

The big problem about the WP is lack of popular apps that currently only available in both Android & iOS.
As the result, it is very difficult for people who wish to switch to WP.

Please stop comparing windows market share in this manner, I brought Lumia 521 for $65 new one to use it and feel windows phone, Windows phones might be gaining market share due to ultra low price devices , but Iphone and high end android's are a class apart.
Compare the high end windows phone market share , i'm sure it wont cross 0.1 %

it's not the point . apple is expensive and that is why more people buy other brands . People wants smartphones at a cheap price and that is why apple will NEVER be number 1
