So Nokia announced their earnings results today, unsuprisingly they made a loss of around 1.4billion USD despite a cash injection from Microsoft of around 250Million USD for them to use WP, it will be followed by a few more payments from MS during this year: http://is.gd/CzwKFV .Nokia have only managed to sell just over 1million WPs in Q4 despite major price cuts and promotions. * +

The 'sales' are of Nokia Lumia units SHIPPED to retailers, NOT SOLD to customers. Seems the Nokia N9 alone may have outsold both the Lumia models, as Nokia mentioned it amongst their best selling smartphones, but are quiet as to how many N9s were sold, and as Elop once said, if N9 outsold their WPs they wouldnt 'promote' sales of the N9, well seems thats exactly the case here: http://is.gd/fKIzEv * +

N9 was released in september, while Lumia hit the market mostly in early December. So isn't it obvious for N9 to outsell Lumia? * +

Considering how expensive and regionaly exclusive the N9 is, nope. Also considering the low amount of marketing and attention the N9 has recieved, its actualy amazing it managed to still outsell both Lumias. * +

I think the N9 would have made a much better device than the Lumia, but I'm happy with my phone. Does all I need it to do, and the layout isn't boring... Like Android's... Did I just say that? Watch the hate kick off now... LOL! * +

No, I wasn't making a debate. I just wanted to see if you tried defending your phone by insulting people or companies etc. I just like upsetting people, I guess. It's in my nature, seeing as I'm from the UK. * +
