Nokia Dethroned As Top Phone Maker By Samsung

A reader writes "PCMag's Angela Moscaritolo writes: 'Samsung is expected to account for 29 percent of worldwide cell phone shipments, up from 21 percent in 2011, when it nabbed the No. 2 spot in the market. Meanwhile, Nokia's share this year will drop from 30 percent to 24 percent this year. Nokia had held the top spot in the mobile phone market since 1998.'" Not just highest sales of smartphones, but of all cell phones.

Thing is some people do want a Windows Phone.

So you fail.

Sure it's not 50% of the market and Nokia don't sell only Windows Phones yet but anyway.

I'd also like a source for the claim someone made about how N9 sold better than the Windows Phones. Care to share some sales figures for N9 vs Lumia 920 for the first weeks?
