How much is Nokia (NYSE: NOK) dominating the Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT) Windows Phone market? To put it simply: a lot.
Data out Friday from WMPoweruser showed Nokia accounted for 48 percent of the Windows Phone 7 market.
Research firm Canalys said WP7 shipments of 6.8 million units were low in 2011. With shipments around 2.85 million units during the fourth quarter of 2010, the total comes to 9.65 million handsets so far. By comparison, Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL) shipped 37 million iPhones in the calendar fourth-quarter of 2011 alone.
Nokia probably shipped about 1.2 million WP7 units in the fourth quarter, most of those Lumia handsets. With just 1.6 percent share of the total smartphone market, Canalys expects that number to increase in 2012 with the roll-out of new devices by Nokia.
Shares of Nokia are up 1.7 percent Friday afternoon.
