Bloomberg came up with this fact as result of a survey which was conducted on 22 different analysts, who predicted the sale of Windows Phone based Lumia smartphone in the end of 2011.

Only one among 22 analysts predicted that Nokia has sold less than 1 million Lumia smartphones in 2011, so on an average analyst sales prediction ranges between 8 lakh to 2 million. Therefore the average sale of Nokia Lumia smartphone line ups could be 1.3 million units in the fourth quarter of 2011.

Nokia Lumia 710 and Lumia 800 were launched in U.S. and Europe in October 2011. In December Lumia was shipped to India with a price tag of 19,000 for Lumia 710 and 29,000 for Lumia 800.
