It’s always interesting to see how a new phone launch can affect current marketshare for other operating systems. WMPU is reporting that StatCounter shows a marked increase in Windows Phones after the launch in Finland, but that it still has a very long way to go before it can reach Android and iOS levels.
The Lumia 800 adoption has been pretty rapid, with all major OSes outside of Windows Phone reporting a drop the week of the launch. Check out this table composed by WMPU to see just how much.
| Date | iOS | Android | SymbianOS | MeeGo | Maemo 5 | Windows Phone |
| 2012-04 | 38.53 | 33.48 | 22.84 | 1.57 | 0.92 | 0.83 |
| 2012-05 | 37.97 | 34.2 | 21.94 | 1.73 | 0.9 | 1.55 |
| 2012-06 | 37.57 | 33.95 | 21.79 | 1.66 | 0.86 | 2.52 |
This is a pretty significant increase for Windows Phone, but it could be attributed to the fact that Nokia is a very strong brand within the country. Whether the United States will see growth like this is a toss up we’ll just have to wait for the launch to see.
