Yes you are correct. They were. But they were growing by a massive percentage every quarter from the get go and since that 0%. By comparison, WP has been losing market share every quarter... so if Nokia has been looking for a larger WP market to sell their WP phones, it hasn't happened yet, and for 18 months the WP trend line has been a losing one... I know that everyone is expecting a change in trend but so far it hasn't happened... at least not with WP7... and I would love to see it happen... now the hopes are for WP8... but WP8 is going to find 2 strongly entrenched OSes that are starting to also encroach into the PC market with Linux (at least Android is - don't know what Apple is doing but I think they'll come out with a PC iOS strategy very soon). NOK put all its bets with ONE OS company instead of putting them like Samsung with TWO OS companies to maximize the market that their phones can sell to. What I'm trying to say in far too many words is that Nok picking ONLY WP is killing them... and only Elop can not see that...
