Windows Phone 390 Published by

Microsoft failed to gain much ground in the mobile phone market in 2011, but its partners should help it grab a piece of the market this year.



From InformationWeek:
Morgan Stanley is projecting Nokia to move 37 million phones in 2012 that run Windows Phone 7. In 2013, they predict that number will jump to 64 million.

For Microsoft, the news gets better. HTC is expected to ship 43 million Windows Phones this year and 74 million in 2013. That says nothing of what Samsung, Acer, and LG will ship.

Assuming those numbers come to pass, that would average 219,000 daily activations from just two OEMs. Compare that to over 315,000 per day for the iPhone and 700,000 per day for Android. It isn't market leading, but it is respectable.
