Morgan Stanley says that Nokia (NYSE: NOK) may sell as many as 37 million Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) Windows powered smartphones. It would be major rebound in the fortunes of the world’s largest handset maker and world’s largest software company. Each has struggled to get into the red hot smartphone which is currently dominated by the Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) iPhone and an army of Google (NASDAQ: GOOG) powered products from firms like Samsung
MS further says 2013 sales of Nokia smartphones could reach 64 million. Nokia launched it flagship Lumia 900 at CES
With a decent selection of handsets in the marketplace — including Nokia’s newly announced LTE device, the Lumia 900 — Windows Phone is poised for some respectable market share gains, particularly if Microsoft promotes it as aggressively as some expect it to.
