Windows Phone outselling Symbian in the UK

Posted on Mar 22, 2012 by MG1

Microsoft’s market share in the United States may have been slipping as of late, but what about in the UK? According to market research firm Kantar Worldpanel, Microsoft and Nokia’s gambit may be paying off: Windows Phone 7 has outsold Symbian handsets for the first time, and the Nokia Lumia 800 is proving popular across Europe too.
According to the research, 2.5% of UK consumers bought a Windows Phone handset compared to 2.4% for Symbian over a three month period that ended on February 19th. Not only that, but the Nokia Lumia 800 accounted for 87% of all Windows Phone sales in Europe. Windows Phone apparently does best in Germany, with it accounting for 3.1% of the market.

Nokia Symbian Belle coming Wednesday 24 August

Posted on Aug 23, 2011 by MG15

Nokia is about to launch the next version of Symbian - Symbian Belle - according to a teaser which the company has inadvertently confirmed on its Facebook fan page.

The teaser which simply says: “It’s almost time to try something new” has a countdown timer with (at time of writing) 46 hours 56 minutes and 30 seconds to go.

That end time gives us a Wednesday 24 August launch, the “something new” announcement presumably set for 1:45pm GMT.
