Nokia Lumia sales on upswing, 8.8 million units sold in Q3 2013

There's definitely renewed interest in Nokia and you can credit this to some stellar new hardware, software and a huge marketing push behind the new products. Espoo, Finland's pride saw smartphone sales in North America increase by almost 400 per cent to 1.4 million units, a spike from just 0.3 million from Q3 last year. Nokia's sold 36.1 million Lumias in total since it made the move from burning platform to Windows a few years ago. 

You can credit this surge is smartphone sales to a well-rounded lineup of devices (with more coming). International sales weren't spectacular, but there's always a chance of a ripple effect once cool new products generate interest in the rest of the world.
