Nokia Lumia 800 blasting other Windows Phones in France?
It is not even a month since the Nokia Lumia 800 was available in France at it has already shot to number 1, past the 1st Generation and 2nd Generation WP’s from other manufacturers.
Whilst you might say it was easy since WP has little footprint anyway, I think that should again say something to those doubters that said no one would want WP and denied any possibility of this possibly beating other manufacturer’s WP handsets in desirability.
The data comes from Arnauld Michelet, an independent developer of an app, traffic France, who is able to analyse the users of his app. The weekly users shows Lumia 800 quickly taking over Samsung’s Omnia 7 – previously the top holder of the crown. Is it just because the Lumia 800 is the new phone? No, not really. The newer Titan and Radar are barely making a blip.
Whilst this isn’t sales data like the one we heard yesterday of Nokia 800 beating iPhone 4S and the rest for KPN Netherlands, this possibly indicates good performance by the Lumia 800 in France. You might remember that The Phone House France was the first place to say the Lumia 800 was doing well.

I think Nokia should just be the sole provider of WP7. Other OEMs never really put much effort into their devices, and the new releases of Samsung and HTC were probably just to ride the popularity of the 800. Unlike those 2, with Nokia a reliable update would be in reach.
Personally I like the Titan better than the Lumia. Lumia looks way nicer, but it doesn’t have a front facing camera or a gryo. If the Lumia had those two things though it would be a no brainer, definitely the best looking Windows Phone device!
Oh and camera, from what I have seen the Titan has a better camera too.
I have had front facing camera since forever and never used it. Way too much talk about that in comparison to the real usage. And I use Skype and seldom use the video chat even on PC. Also I have hard to believe that HTC camera is better. Have you seen a serious test or just guessing from specs? In all I think form factor is ten times more important than gyro and 10000 times as important as a front facing camera.
I agree with you, but Jesse is talking about what he likes, not what he thinks other people will like.
All tests put HTC Titan’s camera ahead of Lumia’s. It’s the first real, good camera from HTC ever. No kidding.
Hell no, Nokia being the defacto provider for Symbian is what killed it. Windows Phone needs several manufacturers to keep everyone honest.
what killed symbian was bad management and lack of developer support and of course US tech blogs putting it down and defacing it
Other companies do not care about WP. They tried it and it didn`t sell well, so they concentrating on Android. WP is second or third options to them. Nokia will come to the same conclusion in few months but it will be too late.

I believe Nokia will attract many people to their WP smartphones. This will increase WP market share to double digit numbers and make other manufacturers put more emphasis on WP aswell. Oh, and im not WP fan.
HTC cares a huge deal about Windows Phone, they could face an Android import ban in the US, and they’ve talked about how WP is doing very well for them already.
Seeing as WP gained a lot of attention when Elop announced that nokia is going to be wp exclusive
WP market share is 5%, how any company can have good sales of phones with WP? Android has 500000 activations a month, even Symbian still has more activations then WP.
..You don’t “activate” Symbian, first of all.
Second, they all started somewhere. Android didn’t exactly have those absurd activation numbers a month the moment it began selling, now did it?
Don’t worry after failure with Microsoft…Nokia will try Bada os ecosystem
The Real Windows Phone in action
“Real windows phone” is HTC Titan…True wp7 flagship device!
Real Windows Tablet indeed…at least my pockets are not big enough for that “phone”. I will wait until Windows 8 for my tablet
Elop said that.
Not me
Eh? How do u know that?
“WP
is second or third options to
them” – is that so? If WP is third option, care to enlighten us on what’s second?
Anyway is this a surprise to anyone? Nokia would probably smoke everyone else too if they were producing Android phones.
Nope, they’ll just be another Android OEM
You mean ‘the 1st real Android’ OEM ?
eldar tweeted a few days ago , that omnia 7 was outselling lumia 800 . lol eldar , the butthurt fag .
I’m living in France and it’s seems to me Lumia 800 is not a great success. Maybe I’m wrong but I want to know sales numbers…
