Analysts: 1.3 million Nokia Lumias shipped in 2011

Initially there was talk of less than 500 thousand units , a few weeks after the forecast was more than doubled . Now new market analysis indicates that Nokia may have sold in the year just passed a quantity of 800 Lumia needed to help rebuild investor confidence in companies.

Marketed in Europe since November, the Lumia sold in 2011 could be 1.3 million. 

The average is calculated between the projections 22, which in turn vary between 800,000 and 2 million units. Among the 22 analysts, fewer than 21 have reported that Nokia has sold more than 1 million Lumia 800.

Meanwhile, the marginalized Nokia N9 should have reached the threshold of 1.4 million units sold, despite little advertising and a limited edition.

Let's not forget, however, that Elop, CEO of Nokia, has always refused to provide any sales forecast for Lumia, maintaining low initial expectations and stressing that the work would have paid off in the long term.
