WP7 vs Android, a quick look going into 2012 MWC.

Last week Strategy Analytics reported that Windows Phone shipped 2.7M units in Q4, with Nokia taking the crown of most units shipped by a Windows Phone vendor, at around 900K.

Today, on the opening of Mobile World Congress, Google noted that Android has reached 850K activations per day, representing a 250% increase since last year's MWC.

Let me just say: there is no third platform.  Even as Windows Phone sales grow, iPhone and Android phone sales are exploding at a scale that is simply incomparable.

As if that wasn't enough, here's a little tidbit I found interesting from Nokia's press conference at MWC:  Of all the stories on Engadget covering Nokia's announcements, by far the one that captured the most interest on Facebook + Twitter + Google+ sharing, was Nokia's Symbian Belle OS phone, the 808 PureView.  The 808 story was shared 220x more than the announcement of the Lumia 610, and 300x more than the announcement of the Lumia 900 introduction to Canada and Europe.

They put a 41 megapixel Carl Zeiss camera into a Symbian phone, made it look really sexy, and priced it at €450.  I think some analysts will be scratching their heads over this, insofar that Nokia's brought its best to a non-WP phone.

Sure, they SAY there is no Plan B, but it looks like the secret Plan B is to ditch Stephen Elop and go back to Symbian.

Oh, and you should not have any doubt in your mind: MWC 2012 is ALL ABOUT ANDROID.
