"And how does that compare with Symbian sales before Elop? I have not looked at a comparison, but it would not surprise me if Windows Phone has not yet caught up."

I can give you a reference that is close to me. Windows phone is 2nd place in latin america (http://techcrunch.com/2013/08/22/windows-phone-snags-second-...) where the first is Blackberry and nobody used Symbian.

I don't think you understood my point. I was saying I would not be surprised if Symbian in 2011 was selling more units than Windows Phone in 2013.

For example, just from press reports that I can find on Google, Nokia sold 20 million Symbian phones in Q4 2011, and 4.4 million Windows Phones in Q4 2012.

"I was saying I would not be surprised if Symbian in 2011 was selling more units than Windows Phone in 2013."

Yeah that was what I understood. However, I was just giving an example of a Non-US market where that were not true :)

"For example, just from press reports that I can find on Google, Nokia sold 20 million Symbian phones in Q4 2011"

That's true, but you have to also considerate the tendency:

At that moment it looks like Symbian was running out of gas.
