Nokia Lumia 800 blowing past other Windows Phones, bringing new users to Windows Phone in France

According to data released by Arnaud Michelet, developer of the France Trafic use of the Nokia Lumia 800 shot up over a 5 week period, overtaking all of the current Windows Phone 7 handsets, both first and second generation.

There is no corresponding dip in the use of current handsets, showing the Lumia 800 is drawing new users to the platform, expanding the installed base by about 1/3 in our quick estimate.

Unless Nokia has been promoting the app, the data clearly shows Nokia’s media blitz is having a good effect. Another data point to add to the many others which show Nokia sales are pretty good after all, despite some misinformed analysts.

Surur, you know good and damn well that the Lumia 800 is the most well received WP device EVER!

Surur, you’re such a hater!

I love how each phone went down on week one and Lumia rises exponentially with each passing week! Also, didn’t know the Omnia 7 was so popular!

Omnia 7 is still popular in, e.g., The Netherlands, mainly because it was pretty much the only one available until the most recent WP7 handsets.

Since this is a real time traffic app, I would guess that there would be similar drops across all established devices depending on the day of the week. That the Lumia 800 is shooting up there so quickly is encouraging.

Of course you won’t see a drop in first generation phones because the second generation isn’t that big of an improvement! No reason yet to update. The Lumia 800 is a big dissapointment, first generation users will probably wait for the Lumia 900 or the Apollo version which will be a very very big improvement. Expect quad core phones in october 2012 so why would you upgrade with your first generation device at this moment?

I had expected more sales for the Titan, such a nice device and it looks as if it isn’t selling that well in France!

800 a big dissapointment? Then why is it selling so well. 1st gener’s waiting? I would upgrade my HD7 in a heartbeat if the 800 was offered in the US. Titan not selling well? Sold out in the US, I think new stock just arrived today.

This phone is incredible, I have it and it’s the best phone I have ever had! It’s so much smarter, quicker and easier to use then Apple & Android. I am going to buy them as Christmas pressies too…

“… Nokia sales are pretty good after all, despite some misinformed analysts.” Heh, well said! Hopefully we will not see anymore quotes from the misinformed guy at Pacific Crest Securities…
