While we can't really say that we're surprised, Nokia has snagged the top spot for Windows Phone devices. Strategy Analytics reports that the Finnish smartphone maker now sits atop the global charts for the Microsoft mobile OS after being in the game for just one quarter.

Fortunately TMN.pt still has some in stock, so if you are desperately looking for the handset there, try your luck here.
