To put that in perspective with Android sales, the whole of WP sold in a quarter as much as Android in 4 days.

I still think Nokia made a huge mistake not making Android phones, too. 4 million Lumias (low-end and high-end ones) is not enough to make them recover on time. They'll still probably get acquired, possibly this year.

Maybe that's the plan? IMHO Elop did everything to make Nokia unattractive to all possible buyers except Microsoft. I see the only option for Apple to try buying Nokia to at least make it more expensive for MS. I don't believe Apple could buy Nokia because that most probably wouldn't be met very friendly by EU bureaucrats.

They can always go back to making boots. There's a large hipster market out there.

Nokia is up by double digits so investors are liking this. With confidence, they might even raise the money they need.

Whether it's as good for Microsoft it's another story
