Taiwanese smartphone makers expect little demand for WP8

Taiwanese smartphone makers expect little demand for WP8

DigiTimes learned from Taiwanese phone makers that demand for Windows Phone 8 devices it not expected to be strong: While Nokia, HTC and Samsung Electronics will launch Windows Phone 8 (WP8) devices beginning in November, in line with Microsoft unveiling the mobile operating system on October 29, market demand for such smartphones is not expected to be considerably large due to the time taken for consumers to learn the operating system and strong competition from iPhone and Android models, according to market watchers. 

Nokia expects the fourth quarter of 2012 to be a challenging quarter for smart devices, with a lower-than-normal benefit from seasonality in volumes, primarily due to product transitions and its ramp-up plans for new devices.

I'm looking forward to it. I'm on my 3rd HTC Trophy now (WP7). Hopefully Nokia has a better product....

Acer is also TWese but they made other electronic stuff too like tablet and notebook.


Problem is that Acer, BenQ and others are too small on the global market to really be considered major impacts for making this statement. HTC owns a much much bigger pie. So this statement is still technically not withstanding since HTC is so big compared to the rest of these Taiwanese manufacturers.

What was wrong with the first two? I'm on my 3rd Galaxy Nexus but I think I already told you all the story.

Guess W8 must be pretty duff, or at least one of the hotshots on XDA Developers would have found a way installing it as a ROM on an android. ;)
