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.
