Well this is a story I wasn’t expecting. It seems the Finnish mobile manufacturer sold 26.5 million smartphones in the quarter exceeding analyst expectations. Apple shipped 14.1 million iPhones and RIM rounded the top three with 12.1 million BlackBerry devices all in the same quarter. So roughly Nokia smartphones outsold Apple’s iPhones 2 to 1. Nokia seems to dominate more worldwide with its competition opposed to North America. It will be no stretch of the imagination Android could take top spot in North America given the armada of devices with that platform.
In all this is good news for the Finnish company that some have written off. Even though there are reports they slimmed down their workforce laying off 1,800 workers perhaps the N-Series and MeeGo will help get them more relevant.
