Nokia is the number one Windows Phone manufacturer in terms of sales, according to analysts, overtaking HTC after having its Lumia phones on the market for just one quarter. Microsoft saw 2.7m Windows Phone device sales in Q4 2011, according to Strategy Analytics' figures, of which sales of Nokia devices like the Lumia 800 contributed 33-percent.

‘Nokia Lumia 710’ Stories
Nokia grabs Windows Phone top sales spot
How Low Can Nokia Go?
Nokia is ramping up for a far more interesting Mobile World Congress than in recent years: having opted out of a presence in 2011, rumors have it that the Finns have at least two new Windows Phones to bolster their range. After the original Lumia 800 and 710, and the imminent Lumia 900 headed to AT&T, we’re also told to expect a new, higher-end device in the shape of a European 900 variant, along with an entry-level model that should cater to a more affordable price point. Question is, with Symbian’s appeal souring ahead of schedule, has Nokia done enough to shave away smartphone pricing.
Nokia Lumia 610 tipped as inexpensive Tango hero
Microsoft must have known that Nokia was going to come out of the gates strong with their mobile OS Windows Phone when they first signed the contracts all those months ago, as Mobile World Congress 2012 appears to be shaping up to be a whole new wave of Nokia beasts hot off the blocks, each of them with Windows Phone Tango equipped! The newest device being tipped as coming at the end of this month is the Nokia Lumia 610, a smartphone made to take out the lower-tiers of the smartphone world with its ultra-inexpensive cost and aesthetically pleasing body.

Nokia Lumia 910 set for Mobile World Congress 2012
This year in Barcelona at Mobile World Congress 2012, we're likely to see a brand new Nokia "high-end" device announced and detailed. Forbes has learned from an industry source they trust that MWC 2012 will play host to Nokia's newest smartphone, one that they're saying will "run an unusual software feature normally found only on high-end smartphones." It's quite likely that this means the camera, rumored to be 12 megapixels strong on the rumored Nokia Lumia 910, will be ready for action.

Nokia CEO taps salesmen to assure Lumia push
Over the last year when it came to Windows Phone, we saw a lovely looking user interface fall victim to less than stellar engagement and interest on the part of the public - Stephen Elop this week says that it's the work of the salesmen, not the manufacturer, to make the final drop of the device into the hands on the consumer. Without a doubt there's a certain flair to the Lumia line of smartphones being released both here in the USA and abroad this year, but without the folks in the stores actually pointing people to the hands-on equipment, there's certainly no chance of a big hit in the engagement environment. Elop let the world know in Nokia's sales call what he expects from store employees in the very near future.

Nokia Bought Time, But That Clock Is Ticking
$1.25 billion in losses would normally be a pretty dire way to end a quarter, but Nokia managed to muster just enough sugar for lemonade with more than a million sales of its first two Windows Phone handsets. After months of “we’ll launch by the end of the year” promises, Elop & Co. came through with not one but two smartphones based on Microsoft’s OS, turning that duo into a trio at CES 2012 earlier this month. As foundations go it’s a solid start, but make no mistake: it only gets tougher from here.
Nokia sells “well over” 1m Windows Phones, still makes €1bn loss
Nokia has announced its Q4 2011 financial results, and the big news is Windows Phone sales: “well over 1 million Lumia devices to date” the Finnish company claims. Still, strong out-the-gate demand for the Lumia 800 and Lumia 710 weren’t enough to turn Nokia’s ailing books around: the company recorded a €954m ($1.25bn) profit loss in Q4 2011, bringing the final 2011 tally to a €1.073bn ($1.4bn) loss, down 43-percent year-on-year.
Nokia Lumia 710 review
In the Nokia Lumia 710 carried by T-Mobile comes the first push by Nokia to re-enter the United States mobile market with Windows Phone in tow, and with this little gem comes a broad sweep for the middle market including those switching from other operating systems to Microsoft’s mobile OS for the first time as well as those brand new to smartphones. What you’ll find is that this device which has already been released with heavy discounts down to absolutely free on contract is a solid smartphone, complete with all the bits you’d expect from a top-of-mid-range device. Will this little beast be the first herald for the oncoming storm of Nokia power?
Nokia Windows Phone sales top 1.3m in 2011 tip analysts
A shortage of rival flagships and ambitious promotional work could have seen Nokia sell 1.3m Lumia Windows Phones in 2011, according to analyst averages, though the MeeGo-powered N9 could still have outsold its Microsoft-running siblings. Bloomberg took sales estimates from 22 analysts surveyed around Nokia's Windows Phone launch, with figures ranging from as many as 2m down to just 800,000. However, the estimates are over sales into the retail channel, and don't necessarily mean that many of Nokia's devices have ended up in users' pockets or bags.

Nokia pressured by mobile carriers to cut Lumia prices
All the way over the pond in the UK there's pressure being pushed down on Nokia to lower the price of the Lumia line, specifically the Lumia 710 which launches there in the next few weeks, as its first devices with Windows Phone have, perhaps, not performed as well as they'd liked. This could be seen as the exact opposite of what we've seen with Apple and their ultra high command over carriers working with the iPhone since its inception. Nokia has held more than a few discussions with UK operators on what it'll do with the Lumia 710 as is launches in the market there, this perhaps reflecting what's happened in the USA.

T-Mobile Nokia Lumia 710 now free
T-Mobile USA's Nokia Lumia 710 is now available free in the US, having already been something of a bargain at just $49.95 with a new agreement. Put on sale just last week, the 710 has already been discounted down to free-with-contract by Walmart, as carrier and retailers attempt to get as many sales in as they can before the AT&T Lumia 900 goes on sale.

T-Mobile Nokia Lumia 710 on sale now
