Microsoft Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Mr. Steve Ballmer, has said that the current sales of Windows Phone devices have increased compared to last year. He said the increase was driven by the introduction of the latest version of the Microsoft Operating System (OS) designed for more powerful handsets.
According to Bloomberg, Ballmer said in a shareholders’ meeting that Windows Phone 8 “is off to a great start” in its first few weeks of availability and initially sold out in many countries. However, he did not specify the actual number of phones that have been sold.
Ballmer added that there were 120,000 Windows Phone applications available and that smartphones using Windows Phone 8 from Nokia and HTC have had “rave reviews”. Windows Phone 8 is closely related to the Windows 8 OS used on PCs and tablets, Ballmer said.
