| How many Lumia phones were sold in the US? |
| By Thom Holwerda on 2012-07-13 16:15:06 |
| "If we then use comScore's figure for total smartphone users (110 million) then the data would suggest that there are 330k Lumias in use in the US. This would have been accumulated over a sales period of about four months." Ouch. For a phone with such a huge marketing push, this is quite painful. |

I read WP news on my Lumia and I got the impression the Lumia was doing pretty well in some markets. And just when it seemed they could make it work they announce that the current Lumia's won't be getting WP8. When a narrow escape presents itself during a dangerous situation it should be wise to take it without hesitation, but Nokia seems to think they can do even better. |

| How does that compare to anyone's sales? |

| Just throwing out a number for a single manufacturer doesn't help me understand the dynamics of the market place. If there are 330k luminas sold, and 5 million Androids, and 2 million iphones over the same time period, then that says something, otherwise its just not that useful. |

I am going to check Tomi Ahonen's blog to further enjoy the news! By the way Tomi's articles tend to be a little bit longer than this article. :) |

| He's also been shown to be consistently wrong, on nearly all his numbers. |

| I didnt think it had to be said how dangerous it is to mix to independent sets of data. Apparently it does. |

330k appears a little on the low side. Microsoft/Nokia spent on the order of $25 million to push the Lumia 900 to AT&T staff[1]. Given $217 manufacturing cost according to iSuppli[2], that would mean 115k phones for AT&T staff alone. [1] http://www.wpcentral.com/report-... [2] http://www.isuppli.com/Teardowns... |

| Tomi Ahonen was able to more accurately predict Nokia's marketshare than the whole gang in charge of Nokia (who keep on babbling about "sales below expectations", "stronger competition than expected", etc.). |

No, actually, he hasn't. I of course welcome you to show me otherwise. He was a smart man before 2011, before Nokia made a decision he disagreed with. Now he's a troll with an agenda, and his own past quotes are continuously viewed against him. I guess I can see where he'd look legitimate to people who desperately want to believe what he's saying is true. |

| Well at least it's better than Gartner's "WP world domination" prediction. |
