Windows Phone to surpass BlackBerry marketshare in UK

A new graph has been released by Kantar which shows the UK market share of smartphone operating systems over the 10 year period from March 04 – March 14. In the beginning we see Windows Mobile and BlackBerry being the leader until Apple’s iOS comes out in late 2007 and poses itself as big threat to the two dominant operating systems.

In the year 2009, Android operating system enters the picture and squeezes the marketshare of Windows Mobile (which was on its deathbed) and BlackBerry (that was churning out atrocious phones like Curve 8520).

As of this past March, BlackBerry’s marketshare in UK is still higher than Windows Phone and to make things look worse, the graph shows only consumer data and not enterprise market which BlackBerry’s main market.

It shall, however be noted that if you notice the last 10 percent of the graph, the BB’s share is shrinking as more and more consumers become aware of the excellent windows phone platform.

Micromax W092 W121 Specifications, avoid these windows phones

Micromax has launched two dual SIM windows phones W092 and W121 both of which have been rumored from quite long time. First is the Micromax Canvas Win W092 which comes with a 4 inch display and Snapdragon 200 quad core processor. RAM is 1GB that will ensure that you get access to all windows phone store applications.

On the back there is a 5MP camera and there is a VGA webcam on the front. For storage there is 8GB of flash storage that is expandable via micro SD card slot. This phone will compete with the Lumia 520 and 525 that are being sold for INR 6000-8000 now.

W121 on the other hand is bit more expensive but that gets you a bigger 5 inch display with HD resolution and 8MP camera.

However what worries us the most is the atrocious build quality that Micromax is so infamous for. People often complain about their handsets failing in less than 3 months. So the support is horrendous and so is its built quality.
