Obviously, the launch of Lumia 630, Lumia 635 and Lumia 930 seems to have improved the figures for Windows Phone. And the full impact is yet to be felt. These numbers are till June, and do not include data for this month. Just a refresher, the market share of Windows Phone in Europe was hovering around the 8.4% mark about a quarter back, but Kantar claims that this number is now up to 8.8%. Growth. Android, in the meantime, has reached 74%, while iOS came down to 15.3% from 17.5% at the end of June. This is probably a trend that will not continue. Unfortunately, another trend that continues is the situation in the United States. Windows Phone had figure of 4.7% three months ago, and now the share on home turf is only at 3.8%. Glum.]]>

wasn’t last months post something like “..the beginning of the decline for windows phone.” ?
Comment monthly by monthly is meaningless. You have to look for a trend through multiple months.
Exactly. We need a rational view or we are just going to run around saying “The sky is falling!”
I agree. The quarterly analysis and yearly reports will be much more helpful and significant data.
Sometimes I have to check at the top of the page to see whether I’m on EyeOnWindows or CultOfMac. Windows Phone losing 0.2% (a statistical nothingness) in the US is “glum”, while iOS free-falling by 11% is nothing to worry about, just “a trend that will not continue”. LOL.
I with You on this point but it is SOP here.
