The vast majority of those Lumias will be the high-end 920 and the slightly-less-high-end 820. Whereas those Android activations include everything and the kitchen sink.

The Lumia 820, which is a lower-end and lower-priced WP8 phone, should be coming out this quarter, and is being mainly targeted at countries like India.

Where did you get the breakdown by device? This is the best I've seen and doesn't seem to reflect your sentiment at all: http://www.neowin.net/images/uploaded/winphone-usage-dec.jpg

OK, and? Nokia sells devices in exactly the same price ranges as Android. iPhone and GS3 sales absolutely crush Nokia on their own as well, so not sure what your point was exactly.

Really? You're posting a graph that shows overall usage of WP devices, that could have been bought at any time in the last 2 years, and trying to present it as data suggesting that more old devices were sold. If anything that graph demonstrates the opposite of what you're saying, as the 920 already has 10% of total WP usage, despite only being released a few months ago.

My point was putting your "17.1 million devices on Christmas Day alone" FUD statistic into perspective.

Yes, Apple and Samsung are still doing better, but that doesn't invalidate what Nokia has accomplished here.

Wow, you need to relax. I asked you where you got your numbers from and linked to the only numbers I knew about (and they can't be from "any time in the last 2 years" as they include the Lumia 920 and 820 .....). If you have numbers showing that "vast majority of those Lumias will be the high-end 920 and the slightly-less-high-end 820", I'd love to see them.

Secondly, you need to look up the meaning of the acronym "FUD", because you really blew it there.
