The phone is cheap, it was FREE in the beginning, that helps boost the sales.

In China, the Windows Platform is outselling the iPhone, NOT the Lumia 900.

When an entire platform with a line up of cheap phones, is outselling 1 expensive phone, that's quite impressive. thumb.gif

Uhhh, Android is still on top.......

I would definitely rock a wp7 phone if it had the customization of Android. I love the metro style. With that said launcher 7 is great!

The phone does look like something that would fit into Asian culture more than what Apple's design looks like. Over there they like cute colourful things.

LOL, fine.

My point was that Windows Phones are generally cheaper vs the iPhone, and in China that makes a big difference. I also noted that it's only $100 in North America, and it was FREE during the 1st 10 days that it launched, so again, a FREE / Cheap phone will boosts sales.

Plus, if we want to go into more detail, Apple hurts their own success in China by limiting the carriers.

iPhones aren’t sold to China Mobile’s 655 million subscribers, which is 70% of the Chinese market.
Yet, Windows Phone somehow claims this as a victory?
http://www.forbes.com/sites/timworstall/2012/05/21/windows-phone-outsells-apple-in-china/

Notice how the source article didn't mention any of these facts?

Samsung is still leading the way.
http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-03-11/iphone-fails-to-gain-china-share-as-samsung-lead-triples-tech.html

While Android is DOMINATING @ 70% market share in China.
