Nokia Lumia 800 takes two top 3 spots in Vodafone’s Most Popular page?
WMPoweruser is reporting that the Nokia Lumia is apparently outselling Android handsets like the Sensation and SGSII, second only to the 16GB iPhone 4S.

I don’t know if that’s actually sales but it is clearly on this chart ahead of the new BlackBerry 9900(white), and every other Androids, white iPhones, 32GB iPhones etc.
We say two spots because the Cyan version pre-order is taking up position 3.
This could confirm what Forbes had mentioned on Nokia supposedly outselling the current BB and Androids as well as Reuters reporting on Nokia’s statement of doing really well in the UK. Orange stores around have been going out of stock – but is that on due to low initial stock? What’s Vodafone’s popularity chart based on?
KPN Netherlands store supposedly has the same trend. Can’t find the link but apparently Belcompany and pdashop Netherlands had sold out on the Lumia (not again, relative, what are the numbers?). KPN is a top 80 site in the Netherlands.

Vodafone have a best selling chart, but we don’t know what the time frame on that. There’s no Lumia there. That white most popular BB 9900 isn’t there but the black one is. It is just a week since Lumia has been on sale, does their chart update real-time or at least within days?

The only thing certain is higher Vodafone customer reviews so far than iPhone 16GB/32GB and Blackberry 9900. Hope it works out at T-Mobile. The coming soon page is still there but it’s now on the list for new phones. They’re not really doing much in the way of promotion like everyone else is putting iPhone everywhere.

- Nokia Lumia sprzedaje się jak ciepłe bułeczki | November 25, 2011
cheers!
The vodaphone page is strange. Maybe I don’t understand what the things under the “recommended” drop-down list mean, but when you click “top 10 selling” there’s no Nokia phone there. It is under the most popular list, but that doesn’t seem to have anything to do with sales necessarily. Or maybe it does and the vodaphone page is a jumbled mess of randomness.
Either way, it’s not really important how well the phone does in its first week. The new blackberries did well in their first few weeks but are still sucking sales-wise over all. The only phones that seem to have real lasting sales power have been high end samsung and htc androids and the iphone. Let’s hope Nokia can change that. Each day that passes makes me feel like they really can’t. But, I hope they can.
I don’t think its actual sales. If you check the Top Selling option, the 800 doesn’t come in the list.
Got a Nokia Lumia 710. And this is a GREAT device
I’ve have used a N9 until now and Windows phone fits me better.
I think both are beautiful. I haven’t any more words for N9 and Lumia 800.
I lean more towards Lumia 800. Love both the N9 and 800, but WP7 appeals to me more.
good luck in uk, but in indonesia nokia dying lol, ceck out BlackBerry 9790 ( Bellagio) launch in pacific place jakarta, https:// http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?

Hey, I’ll buy one when it comes in January!
Popularity has very little to do with sales. This example is somewhat farfetched but look at GSMarena’s popularity page. N9 is higher than SGSII but we kno for a fact the n9 will never outsell the galaxy S.
People’s interest does not necessarily convert to sales.
Anyway, lets just wait for the 4th quarter result
“People’s interest does not necessarily convert to sales.”
Interesting and true comment. There are some factors but it is not a direct translation from interest to sales. Having said that, the apparent lack of interest based on google trends was the backbone of a Forbes article that stated Lumia wasn’t going to sell because there was no interest. We know now there are certain areas with both sales and interest. How much, it’s all too soon to tell.
I agree. That google trend article was stupid. But the analyst was from forbes. If he knew what he was doing he wouldnt be at forbes, but instead at Goldman Sachs. I dont listen to stupid analyst
Interesting point to note though is nokia’s clarification is semantically ambiguous. The modifier ‘recent history’ probably means in the past few months. Recent generally does not signify a time period more than a year.
Therefore, i would assume that would not even include the N8
Food for thought
Current article on Drudge: Murdock Media(News Corp, WSJ,Forbes,AllthingsD,FoxNews,etc.) has been accused of trying to bribe a politician in Austrialia in which the politician would be able to have written any articles he wanted as long as he voted how Murdock media wanted him to. Moral of the story, read MyNokiaBlog if you want the truth about Nokia and skip or question the hundreds of media sources you see and hear out there in the land of fraud and bribes.
The difference is that Samsung is ready to go into a bloodbath even with Apple just to sell SGSII…
Now, if Nokia backed up N9 with full marketing support (without the bad mouthing by Elop) and released in all major markets with carrier subsidy, that “interest” might just become “sales”…
Nah. It’s a slow, laggy, icon based OS so it wouldn’t stack up to the fast, icon based OSs like iOS and Android.
This works because it’s fast, lag free and different.
Lying is a bad habit. Maemo is blazing fast.
Nice try…
I will leave this here: http://shop.orange.ch/en/mobile-phones/top-sales/icat/topsellers/
yeah, nokia sells!
lumia 800 + n9
I don’t see any lumias, only N9 at 7th place.
That’s Switzerland. They didn’t even release Lumia there, and I see N9 in the top seller list. What was your point again? Should I, I don’t know, be aware of something?
The user reviews were positive too
http://shop.vodafone.co.uk/shop/mobile-phone/nokia-lumia-800#/reviews
This is going to be a big factor. And even the Symbian trolls who bomb it with bad reviews won’t make much of a difference, as people will check them out and realise they were posted by raving lunatics.
As opposed to windows trolls like yourself?
There is one thing in business, which is making money through a product. And for a sensible company the most important thing is that a product continue to pay their bills (aka make money for them) for as long as it goes on. Starting days are sales are overly hyped like everything else nowadays.
Since its Nokia page, I will give example of 5800, people still want to pick it up brand new at many places. Think of E72, it is still in as well. Now in most recently out-dated sets N8, it is not only strong but in demand. I bet E7 would be in same demand only if it comes with slightly better specs, in ram and in camera department.
So a week’s sales and numbers are super exciting elements but product’s success or failure shouldn’t be line up from it.
WP in our case is new and not known, and with Nokia WindowsPhone there are 3 negative elements working. Nokia’s recent downfall branding message in world, WindowsMobile’s experience in consumers so people are hesitate to give another chance to Windows on MobilePhone due to that past experience. And 3rd thing is WindowsPhone’s limited featurelist compare to Android and Symbian.
So IF it doesn’t seem working out so well in millions everyday it might be once people will see its review, its users and so on.
Blasphemy! According to WP trolls, whose words are the Gospel, Symbian cannot be in demand!
If Nokia produced android hardware and Symbian hardware, which one would a consumer choose? Now that’s the question.
I would like to see some evidence for the 5800 still selling thou. Kinda hard to believe.
I don’t know if you can read this post and this answer to you any more, but The world is way too big and there are rich and poors living side by side no mater how much riches want them ignore.
Also the new “young” are always there due to the life-cycle, and those in developing countries found 5800 type of system under their price range easily and grab it to start their smartphone experiences.
WP isn’t new, it’s year old system.
Strange. I wonder how the issue really is.
Could someone write them an email or something?
Notice the customer review part. “Iphone 4S” 3,5 stars and “Lumia 800″ 5 stars
Microsoft’s paid trolls are doing a fine job apparently. /S
The /S was unneeded. You can get any number of employees to post customer reviews with 5 stars. That’s the problem with Internet, everyone’s anonymous and there’s no proof they were actually posted by customers.
then apple’s trolls are hard at work too, although they failed. So apple trolls and MS trolls cancel each other out, which still means 800 has a higher rating than iphone. See what I did there?
As a n9 supporter he is contractually obligated to diss 800 news. And conveniently ignore the fact that the same can be applied to the n9
Well Vodafone UK has sent Slashgear a confirmation that the Most Popular page has nothing to do with actual sales. I, for my part, believe that the 800 is selling okay. Not as much as the N8 in my opinion though. I think there’s something messed up with the distribution of the 800. It’s almost as though Nokia wasn’t able to make enough of them. Anyway, waiting for it to get here so I can buy one.
