Of course we would think Siri is going to tell us the best phone ever is the iPhone. We are wrong!
Just have a look on this image:

Finland_Windows_Phone_Growth
With the Microsoft Nokia partnership Windows Phone is slowly gaining momentum. In the US the Lumia 900 secured the best seller spot on amazon and the 2nd best seller on AT&T in April . The general buzz on the Lumia series is positive ( though the device seems to have its fair share of issues ). If we consider the home ground of Nokia ( it is Finland, for those who didn’t have a clue ) and try to see the marketshare , while there are no official numbers we can get our hands on. We can always go through sites like statcounter which tracks browser usage.

Smartphone-OS-share
In a recent article on PCWorld they ran a story ” Windows Phone Market Share is So Small, Nielsen Doesn’t Even List It ” which refers to the report by Nielsen where they said almost 50% of U.S. mobile subscribers are smartphones users. They break down smartphone ownership in the past 3 months where iOS won more users from the Blackberry and Others market and they commanded an ownership of 43% , while Android sat on a 48% ownership share. In the past 3 months Blackberry ownership was 5% and others which probably includes Windows Mobile, Windows Phone , etc sat at 4% , a number that has steadily been dropping down in the charts.

Nokia 900
AT&T has been in the Windows Phone headlines of recent with it’s snubbing of the 8107 Update, receiving much scrutiny for it’s decision not to rollout the update to it’s WP subscribers. Perhaps in an attempt to redeem themselves, AT&T announced they in conjunction with Nokia will be marketing the Nokia Lumia 900 with more force upon it’s April 8th launch date than when they released the iPhone. In addition AT&T has offered some explanation as to why their WP subscribers will have to wait for the 8107 Update and when to expect it. For more details read past the break.

Nokia's Play To
It seems Nokia has picked up the whole WP world and put us on their shoulders! What will Nokia be responsible for introducing next involving Windows Phone? MS is leaning heavily on Nokia to bring notoriety to the WP platform and the Finnish company is not letting MS or us down! Today, Nokia released their Beta DLNA(Digital Living Network Alliance) streaming app, Play To, for Windows Phone bringing more aspects of the WP up to existing standards with Android and iPhone which both utilize DLNA streaming. DLNA allows you to stream your multimedia, such as photos and music to other DLNA connected devices such as computers, cell phones, and other media devices like a gaming consoles. This feature has been missing since WP’s inception and has been a heavily requested feature to be added to future builds to the Windows Phone OS. Congrats Nokia! Hurry up other OEM’s not named Nokia!

Last month I introduced myself to you all here as WinPhan7. I want to get back to the WinPhan7 concept for this article. I described myself as a beyond avid fan, but I want to breakdown the WinPhan7! concept to you. Windows+Phone+Fan+7+!=WinPhan7! Myself and fellow WP enthusiast, Mark Tepper are now working hard to try and turn WinPhan7! into a movement. Are you still looking for a way to truly show your WP love? I want to give Windows Phone owners an opportunity to identify with something fun and easy way to express it to others! Android owners have the Fandroid moniker and iPhone owners, iFans. WP can’t and won’t be left out of the loop, so, WinPhan7!

Hello, howdy, and how do you do? I am going to be joining this incredibly talented staff of writers and I’d like to introduce myself. My name is Sean Johnson, but I prefer WinPhan7. I reside in the US in beautiful Northern California. I am 38 years of age and gaining stride in life. I’m a loving husband, proud father of 4, and I’m sarcastic. I enjoy technology, writing, and well most importantly, I LOVE MY Windows Phone! Nothing comes before my family though. I am a hard worker, most of my time is spent in the woods. Although there is rarely a moment indoors or outside that my trusty WP isn’t in my hand or holdstered to my side!

This is not the first time we have seen Microsoft using this particular test to show off the exciting hardware acceleration in IE9 on Windows Phone Mango. But since then Apple has released the beta of iOS and Microsoft has decided to run the test again. This time we have a BlackBerry Torch, the Samsung Droid Charge, the iPhone 4 ( beta 3 of iOS5 ), and what looks like the HTC Mozart running Mango. The frame-rates achieved by the devices were as below via WMPU
- BlackBerry Torch only managed to pull off a pathetic 9FPS
- iPhone 4 even with beta 3 of iOS5 managed only about 14-16FPS
- The Android powered Samsung Droid Charge got around 20-22 ( something like that from what I can see)
- But the Mango Powered HTC with graphics acceleration came out with an amazing 50FPS !!!
