The number of mobile phones with Windows Phone system shipped to retail increased 156% between the third quarter of last year and the same period this year, according to data from IDC analyst. In contrast, with the most recent release virtually silenced, the Blackberry has almost disappeared.
Microsoft platform equipped 9.5 million mobile phones offered for sale, which represents a 3.6% share of the market for smartphones. The vast majority of handsets with Windows Phone is Nokia, whose business was purchased by Microsoft.
Altogether, hit stores about 261 of smartphones over the last quarter, 79 million more than in the same months of 2012. This rise of Windows Phone is far above the average market growth, which was 39.9%.
Contrary to this, the BlackBerry – which made a failed launch of new devices and a new platform earlier this year and walked, without success, to find a buyer – almost disappeared. The brand sent 4.5 million mobile phones for retail, a decrease of 41.6%, which leaves it with 1.7% market share.
