Compal shipments increased, Nokia the factor (but was the order volume actually 2M?)

| November 22, 2011 | 86 Replies

It should be no surprise to hear the phrases ‘volume shipments in 2012″ for Nokia Windows Phones as that’s what Nokia have been saying since February.

You may have seen such videos where they extract gold from these old components (I’d never sacrifice my 3310 for […]

It’s just a week in since launch and some places are already calling doom on Nokia’s Lumia efforts. Forbes has published a somewhat troubling article questioning who is actually going to buy the Nokia Lumia 800 Windows Phones, which is launched in just 6 countries.
