Windows phone reaching the third place:

According to Harry McCracken, Founder and Editor of Technologizer, Nokia could be capable of building a sleek and capable device that flatters the great software that the Windows 7.5 Mango OS is. The OS has further received applaud for its animation and app integration, with about 40,000 third-party apps to its credit in about a year.
