Infographic: Why people switch to Lumia
We got an email from Katie of 1000Heads/WOM/NC who shares this infographic about the recent campaign ‘Why people switch to Lumia’. You may have seen a couple of videos earlier showing two folks switching from a BlackBerry and a Moto.
This time, NC asked the community why they switched and that’s presented as the infographic above.
We recently asked the twitter community why they switched to Lumia and the response was overwhelming! We put together an infographic (see attached) based on the feedback and as you can see, it gave us some pretty interesting results

Thanks Katie!









Infographic is so true.
I tweeted about best build quality, smoothest performance even in multitasking, best
design, best applications, Nokia Navigation,
best camera.
Thank you for confirming that its true. We were in confusion :/
I see your sarcasm there tosh.o
Why dont they try to find an infographic about:
Why Symbian users DO NOT switch to lumia???
I guess we all know the answer!!!
They live in a 3rd world country?
notice…it’s ALL pushed by the USA >.> fuck them…they are/have been and always will be the main problem.

I actually happen to be a Symbian user (6700 Slide powered by the S60) who switched to the Lumia 800. Didn’t regret making that choice. :p
Nobody is perfect
I didn’t say or hinted that. Just pointing out that there are Symbian users who made the switch.
I too made the switch from Symbian. I love the 900. No freeze ups ever, fast,smooth,easy and you can personalize the screens the most of any os.
Also switched from an N8 to an 800. It was a close call between a WP Nokia or the iPhone. Nokia won in the end with a faster than expected release and gorgeous HW.
The only regret in switching is the mediocre camera on the 800 compared to the N8. Other than that nothing but praise, especially the now usable email and browser were very welcome.
I know. Some people insist on sticking with a slow, buggy, last generation OS that has a rubbish email client and awful browser.
Sad really.
USB OTG?
It does feel kinda pointless to ask those who have made the switch, why they made it, when the installbase is so small. A much better question would be to ask Symbian, Android, etc. users why they have not made the switch.
But of course, this is marketing, and not market research.
Because they switched to MeeGo
technology should be for all..It should be competitive in all respect and generalised.
I switched to the N9. Problem Microsoft?
What is this Jersey shore? Calm down Vinny
MS? It’s a great thing for Nokia, that’s the positive you should be looking at…
If it does okay (despite everything), then “LT” they MAY have a crack at doing their own OS/platform again.
daydreaming. There is no need for Nokia to do their own OS again. If there are open OS that are finished, spreading fast and with good ecosystem, they could jumo onboard. It would take ages from Nokia to gather the competence again – even buying out a dev company would not be enough.
I know, was just trying to neutralise the impending flame-war in 3,2,1… sigh.
This is just people who already follow the Nokia twitter tag, right? Not so interesting unless it was generic poll of anyone with lumia
they should just wait to gain more marketshare before doing these campaigns. i doubt anyone who sees this will say they want a lumia. the only people seeing this is the people who already have one, or who read blogs,and that isn’t a large number. pointless imo.
true, judging by the amount of people using windows phone. It seems pretty pointless
Aside from the 3/6 reasons why I switched to the Lumia (which is Love for Nokia, For the unique design and bored of other smartphones), another reason is because I want to get my hands on one since I’ve been using budget to mid-range phones for a few years. Just chalk it down to wanting a change.
I didn’t say or hinted that. Just pointing out that there are Symbian users who made the switch, regardless if it is mentioned on the net or outside of it.
Please delete this comment. Was meant to reply to spbond. Thank you.
Switch from Symbian to lumia and won’t look back ever.
What fun in the caboose! People usually break out from jails, these ones’ want to go to jail. Talk about reverse jailbreak! LOL!
people will definitely prefer jail like wp when compared to shitty sewer conditions of symbian
yeah, can’t use google as default – boohoohoo…
i hate all of ms, apple, and google, they are symbol of capitalism, but i prefer google as lesser evil, i never pay anything to google, just receive ad-ware, while ms sucks my $200 every time i purchase a pc, for windows & office suite
Do you live in North Korea?

lol
no, but my country is not plagued by debts as US and europeans
Sea Land?
Capitalism enabled these people to create something from nothing and improve our lives in the process. Or would you rather be queuing for bread rations?
By the information provided it seems a base number of 71.3 % of those surveyed would have also probably switched to the N9 if it had not been EOLed and assuming it came out in the same price points and sizes. With some cannibalization in other areas to probably push it up some. I could be wrong though, havent seen the actual questions and phrasing of the survey.
I think they need to concentrate on why the other 95% wont switch
With regards to Nokia Care – this would be a reason I would NOT switch to Nokia. Used to be great, now abysmal (many outlets closed – phones now have to be posted etc.).
Just had my 3 week old Lumia 900 repaired under warranty (faulty speaker) – took 1 month for Nokia Care to turn around! 1 month without a phone! At one point the package got lost in the post (which Nokia Care – Service Desk in India – refused point blank to cover, or follow up, even though it was under their postage! They effectively washed their hands off the entire issue!). Thankfully the phone luckily, eventually, got back to me. I would be VERY nervous using Nokia in the future incase I had any warranty/device issues.
what a desperate marketing by nokia!
you can easily make symbian users swtich by just customising the wp8 ui/ux. no more back button and search button, they are replaced by call and end buttons instead.
Useless statistics.
The source are the followers of nokia-tweet so this is not representative. These followsers have already a special relationship to nokia otherwise they wouldnt follow nokia-tweet.
can any body tell me what the exclusive apps ?!!
i LOLED when I sawn that too xD !
