The Nokia-Windows Phone partnership appears to be working pretty well so far.
That is, at least, for Nokia. According to Windows Phone-centric blog Wmpoweruse.com, 45% of the current generation of Windows Phone devices that have been sold are from Nokia.
HTC is a close second, accounting for 40% of the still-nascent market. Samsung is behind at 12%.
There were two major goals when Nokia decided to ditch its antiquated proprietary operating system and switch to Windows Phone – one was to get Nokia’s name back in the spotlight and earn some much-needed shelf space in places like the US.
Samsung seems to have got their strategy down pat in the world of smartphones theyre doing gangbusters where the Android scene is concerned, selling more than 10 million units of the Samsung Galaxy S2 to date despite being launched rather recently, and while their own set of bada-powered phones arent doing too hot, Samsung still finds the time to support another operating system Windows Phone, where the latest model to be announced would be the Samsung Omnia W that will be the first Samsung device that runs on Windows Phone Mango, the latest version of Microsofts mobile operating system.
