Does China love Windows Mobile?

However when asked what OS they preferred on their smartphones, a stunning 70.2% picked Windows Mobile, followed by Symbian with only 10.7%.
The real question is of course the validity of the data, with Windows Mobile only holding a 10% smartphone market share in China, and 400 people being only a tiny fraction of the estimated 1.3 billion people in China, but on wmpoweruser.com we are not going to be arguing too much, are we

I’m not saying it’s the truth. It’s just what I see daily on the streets and in the subways.
