> Pinging dayglored, ThunderSleeps, and Shadow Ace for their ping lists.
Alas, though the quoted article mentioned Apple 4 times and Android 3 times, the word "Windows" does not even appear as a footnote, so I'll pass on pinging the Windows list. I've caught considerable flak for cross-posting and even lost a member or two over it.
I can hardly wait until Microsoft gets off their butt and makes a righteous Surface Phone and gets back into the game for serious.
I've got an iPhone and love it. I wish I could feel that much attraction for a Microsoft device. They're entirely capable of the technical design part of such a product. WTF, Microsoft? The Chicago Cubs of high-tech handhelds.
I pinged you because of this sentence. That's a Windows phone:
Microsoft's Nokia lost share from 2014, dropping from 5.8% to 2%. Sony fell out of the top five manufacturers all together, while Xiaomi made the cut for the first time with 1.5% of all new activations during Christmas week. This is especially striking since Christmas is not the biggest gifting day of the year in China, and makes Xiaomi's rumored US-entry next year even more exciting.
I think I should ping DennisW to this thread because Xiaomi is actually making some sales in the US. Imagine that. They sell only on eBay, but they are getting close to LG in activations!
