Nokia Lumia devices not generating sales in Europe, say carriers; Would be doing better with Android

Nokia Lumia devices not generating sales in Europe, say carriers; Would be doing better with Android

The Finnish company Nokia seems to be getting rounds of disapproval from major European carriers. According to Reuters, carriers are not satisfied with the Windows Phone 7-based Lumia line's presence due to low sales. They cite lack of adequate marketing by Nokia, glitchy devices, and more as reasons why “no one comes into the store and asks for a Windows Phone,” as told by an executive at one of these carriers. That same executive says Nokia could sell a lot more Lumia devices if they'd gone with Android instead of Windows Phone.

It's a bad problem for Nokia to have.
