    Nokia's (NOK) Lumia launches have allowed Windows Phone (MSFT) to claim 6% of the German smartphone market and 3%-4% of the U.S., British, French, and Italian markets, reports Kantar Comtech. Meanwhile, Android's (GOOG) share has surged 72% in Spain, 49% in Italy, and 62% in Germany, though its lead relative to the iPhone (AAPL) has narrowed in the U.S. and U.K. Symbian and the BlackBerry (RIMM) continue to bleed share.

    China unicom and china telecom selling the iPhones. Nokia is through china telecom (Lumia 610 and 800c) and the 900 is coming in June. They also working on standards used by china unicom and china mobile as well. Now it's just a matter of time before the massive distribution starts.

    I wonder why there isn't more reaction to the recent news stories concerning surging sales.

    Windows phones had a 1.7% market share last year. It has doubled in a couple of months. Nokia's phone has sold better than iPhone is a hugely status-conscious Chinese society. I didn't think that would happen for a long time as iPhone was THE GIFT during Chinese New Year to an employee's boss.

    I know that 60 days do not make a significant trend, but this is some amazing news...
