First look at Windows Phone 8.1

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.
