Windows Mobile market share is a long way off 8.8% according to Statcounter: http://gs.statcounter.com/#mobile_os-DE-monthly-201209-20130...

That said I could believe the sales growth as Nokia are know for making great quality low end devices so there could be traction gained here as the allure of flagship phones is not as appealing/affordable for all as base technology improves.

IMO the best thing WM could do is create a phone that works more as a mobile base station for all your computing in the way Ubuntu Touch are attempting. The latter launching in a couple of weeks. Can't wait to try it out!

True, but the smartphone market could be considered as a leading indicator for the whole mobile one. What caught my attention is that MS is/was being considered as a dead horse in this race by a lot. Well, dead they are not.

It's because Europeans are a bunch of idiots. They're dumb enough to let gays ruin their society and their dumb enough to use Windows Phone instead of the vastly superior iPhone. There's no news here, no surprise.

There may be something funky with Statcounter, when looking at North America, they show Blackberry as doubling it's growth since May, doesn't seem like the most reliable source. http://gs.statcounter.com/#mobile_os-na-monthly-201209-20130...

Also, its Windows Phone, or WP, not Windows Mobile.

It's OP's first comment. I'm guessing that it's an alt of another user?
