More positive Windows Phone sales news,Windows Phone market share started to go upwards

Although the Windows Phone OS still holds rates of diffusion rather low in recent months, the market share of Windows Phone has experiencing a significant growth in some markets . These results have certainly been achieved thanks to the massive advertising campaign carried out by Nokia to promote their Lumia organized with the initiative from Microsoft called "Smoked by Windows Phone" which as we have seen , has proved successful.

Through WordPanel Kantar , we learn that even Windows Phone has reached the quota of ' 6% share in Germany , marking an increase of 3% only in recent weeks. Another very positive news coming from Russia and in particular the operator MTS announced that the sales figures in Q1 of this year alone. According to the Russian company, sales of Windows Phone devices have outsold the iPhone, with a percentage of ' 8.2% of total sales , with three terminals in the top five best sellers, including the Nokia 800 Lumia, Lumia Nokia 710 and HTC Mozart.

Also yesterday, we have noted how Chris Weber, head of Nokia USA, is happy about the sales of Lumia 900 in the U.S.A. According to analysts at Canaccord Genuity, the new Windows Phone from Nokia is the second best selling smartphone through AT & T (preceded only by the iPhone, which still owns 70% of sales in America) the results are far greater than the HTC X-One, to hours, is considered the best Android device on the market.

We hope, therefore, that the spread and growth of Microsoft's operating system is stable, especially with the arrival of the Nokia Lumia 610 which should give an extra boost to the OS in emerging markets and considering also that the manufacturers do not should no longer submit new terminal until the arrival of Windows Phone 8.

MSnerd: All Windows Phone smartphones will be upgraded to Windows Phone 8

MSnerd is an "anonymous" user f who has been pretty reliable when it comes to Microsoft leaks.From a question put to him on reddit.com here comes his statement regarding the release of Windows Phone 8 terminals for first and second generation.

These are the words of MSnerd about upgrading to Windows 8 Phone:

"There are hopes for Windows Phone users to receive first and second generation of Windows Phone 8?

Yes, all phones Windows Phone will receive a subset of Apollo.  operators are the main obstacle in the United States.  Microsoft has pushed hard for the release of Mango in a short time for everyone, as well as Nokia and HTC.Some features of Apollo will be exclusive to Terminal 3 generation who should be released this fall using the MSM8960 platform."

See the release of Windows Phone 8 also on the devices of the first generation would be without doubt a coup for Microsoft and would give users much confidence about purchasing new smartphones with Windows Phone OS.
