Slashgear is reporting ( with out sources ) that according to sales tracking firm GfK , five of the top fifteen devices sold were versions of Apple’s iPhone, with the Lumia 800 apparently failing to get into the top ten in either November or December. That seems really odd coz according to 3 UK the lumia 800 is the 2nd best according to Bestseller Rating and Vodafone UK has the lumia 800 listed as one of their Most popular phones. O2 did not allow me to check their store ( coz I don’t live in the UK , so if any of you folks from the UK could have a look and get back to us that would be appreciated ). Even on-line stores that sell unlocked devices like expansys UK has the Lumia in their top 10, so I find it very odd that the study conducted by the so called GfK failed to find the Lumia 800 in the top 10.
Nokia spokes person reached out to them with this message
“We have only started our journey to regain smartphone leadership, but we are pleased with the early results. The Lumia 800 is getting good traction in all six European markets where it has already launched. Initial feedback from India, Hong Kong, Russia, Singapore and Taiwan — where the Lumia 800 starting selling this week — has been very encouraging”
This is probably one of the iGroupies post to churn out some good press for Apple .. They are claiming ” five of the top fifteen devices were apple “.. pffff . That means the original, 3G, 3Gs, 4G , 4Gs all of them made it to the top 15 ??? I am calling bullshit on this one.

I smell something fishy here by FT.com because they don’t have any link to original GfK analysis. And I think Mr. Daniel Thoms of FT.com got paid by Apple or other to not to put the original analysis, which would otherwise tell something different, you can look the original ft.com report here http://www.ft.com/cms/s/2/822aec78-27ed-11e1-a4c4-00144feabdc0.html#axzz1gygxLUnP
I’ve just taken a look on the O2 website and they don’t seem to sell any Windows Phone 7s at all, not even the Lumia. Doing a couple of quick searches seems to show that they use to sell WP7s but not any more it seems…
We’re sorry, but the phone you selected does not exist on the O2 shop.
You may wish to check the address or choose from the links below, which we hope will help you find what you’re looking for:

Thanks you guys :) appreciate you guys looking it up for us.
Yeah, if they don’t have any links to the source it just comes off as trolling. This is the internet folks, we need pictures or it didn’t happen [Posted from the 1800PocketPC app]
