Admittedly that’s still miles behind Apple and Samsung (33.7% and 33.6% respectively), but it’s nice to see some improvement. It’s also interesting to see how badly HTC are doing in the US given how much they’re trying with Android and int run giving WP the cold shoulder, perhaps the future is in WP? Thanks for the tip Alvester

Whilst Finland usually has to wait significantly longer to get their own flagship Nokia devices, the wait isn’t too long for the gigantic Nokia Lumia 1520, 2520 and the petite Asha 503. All said to be due on the 4th of December 2013 by NokConv Finland.
Cheers Janne for the tip! |

Here’s a Nokia Promo for an app called Smart Resize which I thought was actually pretty cool. I thought it was going to crop intelligently like squares and rectangles but what it does is allow you to take a picture, keep the important subject in that picture (or remove an unsightly object) whilst you shrink the rest of the image around it. Best to watch the video rather than my explanation. I just tried it and I’m really impressed.

A couple of sources have been looking at the smartphone numbers and shows that WP is indeed making some great progress. ABI Research shows WP growing 165% year on year thanks to Nokia which is now making 95% of all WP devices shipped. Strategy Analytics points out that for the first time, there has been over 10M WP shipped in one quarter. doubling the marketshare from 2 to 4% year on year. According to their findings, this shows a 178% growth year on year making it the world’s fastest major smartphone OS. This growth is attributed to Nokia’s steadily improving Lumia portfolio across Europe, Asia and America.
