Windows Phone hits double digit market share in some European countries

It might be seen as a slow ascend but Microsoft’s Windows Phone seems to have hit the double digit mark when it comes to market share in a couple of European countries—specifically, France where it has reached 10.8 percent and Great Britain where it has reached 12 percent. According to a report from Kantar, Windows Phone has hit a cumulative 9.2 percent in the other three of the “big five European markets” (namely, Germany, Italy, and Spain).

But this still puts Windows Phone as a distant third behind Android (70.1 percent) and iOS (16.1 percent). However, you can see BlackBerry falling further and hitting the 2.4 percent market share in those same markets just a smidgen ahead of “Other” mobile operating systems.
