4 Million Nokia N8?s Sold So Far

Soon after its launch in October, Nokia had announced that the N8 has received the highest amount of consumer pre-orders” in the company’s history. Back then, the news was treated with suspicion because the phone was launched amidst quite a bit of negative publicity regarding the usability of Symbian^3 and lack of overall competitiveness when compared to platforms like Android and iOS. In addition, there was a considerable delay between the announcement of the device and its eventual launch.

Nokia has also not revealed how many N8’s it has managed to sell so far – nor the sales targets the company had for the first few quarters. Anyway, we now have Finland based research firm Inderes reporting that Nokia may have shipped as many as 4 million N8 units around the world since launch. Their report arrives at a figure that hovers between 3.5 and 4 million units.

While the number is still a far cry from the total number of iPhones sold so far, (14 million in the first quarter), if the 4 million figure is accurate, Nokia didn’t actually do very badly. Another thing that is to be noticed is that the N8 has done particularly well in India, a market where the iPhone hasn’t managed to evoke much interest – the report adds.

  • Good statistics. Worthy of without doubt the best touchscreen phone produced by Nokia. The problem is not just the comparison with iPhone 4 but also Galaxy S sales. But then they have been around in the market for a longer period of time. Let us wait for official confirmation of sales from Nokia.
