Yesterday, many blogs reported that Nokia has sold 13 million 5800 XpressMusic devices. Apparently, they picked that number from Forum Nokia North America’s, who said that the number was reached in April this year. He meant to say the Nokia 5310 XpressMusic, instead – the device which is on the market since 2007.
From Nokia Conversations’ Twitter:
Woke up to find a HUGE misquote. Exec said we shipped 13M 5800’s. He meant 13M Nokia 5310 XpressMusic. Please let folks know.
That’s more like it — otherwise, they would have numbers Apple would die for. This is not to say the Nokia 5800 XM is not a capable device, quite the contrary. Only that it was released few months ago and the 13 million mark seems incredible for any phone on the market…
