Could the 8X be the WP8 "sleeper hit" in the US?

[independentvolume]

But I'm not just talking about the US. I'm talking about worldwide. And Nokia will easily outsell the 8X worldwide. True fact

Global could very well come down to pricing. But yes, odds are good it will sell better worldwide. OEMs like tcl and others will eat away at those profits though. How big is windows phone overseas?

It may take time but it's still growing. So now you don't care about wp. While you're here, way to go. (clap)

. There was a lot of aguing going on since you came. So please don't push it

I have no idea what your talking about. I'll just end it by saying as long as Verizon gets the 8x I won't lose any sleep. The Ativ would be a dream. Hopefully wp8 takes off big.

Dude. It's dead simple. Do you. I mean you care about wimdows phone or not. Becuase every time I see your post you're always so negative about it. Look I know you like htc and Samsung. But you sir need to,Learn to respect OEMs

I have a prediction that the 8X will be a big seller simply because it's a cool looking phone that will be available on 3 of the 4 big US carriers. What do you guys think?

Note: There's not a lot known about the ATIV S carrier availability as of this post. Perhaps the ATIV S can impact my prediction but we'll have to wait and see.

Actually, according to HTC's website, it is available on ONE of the carriers (AT&T).

No. They are the announced Carriers

China?. China is already the main place to get market share and wp is going fine there

[independentvolume]

Did you read my link? USA has over 111 million smartphone users, China has 70 million. Maths homey.

 

[independentvolume]

I hope the 920 sells 600 mil on China mobile, so there is that.

I know. But those people already have smartphones. So they don't need to Chang. But in china it gives the a chance to get more people to their phones. It's called outcomes man

Hmm Check out this: China passes 1 billion mobile subscribers, passes 400 million mobile Web users and overtakes US as world

There is no way in heck a country with 1.3 billion people only had 70 million people with smartphones. According to wikipedia they have an estimated 1 billion mobile phones in use.

 

[cckgz4]

Eh

Just because it's on every carrier doesn't mean it's going to sell like crazy. Needs pushing from the OEM and the carriers

 

[cckgz4]

Oh and these mom and generic phones are the ones that sell the most because they're priced competitively

that probably doesn't include smartphones

Bigger than in the US

On an unrelated note, would you believe that in Finland I see more Lumias than SGS3s on the streets? Nokia is really strong around here, naturally, but I've understood that WPs marketshare in Europe is bigger WPs marketshare in the US at the very least.

I will believe that as that fits in the narrative that WP has now more than 10% marketshare in Finland. And Italy too.

It all comes down to what the salespeople promote, the droids, iPhone or WP. And which brand has the good name underneath the banner.

I will note that the LG Nexus, a competitor that will test the L920, will show whether people buy the Nexus phones for Google's brand, or are those people buying Nexus phones because they are from a more reliable brand in Samsung or Asus. The competition's offering is important if WP has to make a breakthrough.
