Windows Phone Inches Past Near-Dead Symbian In U.K. Market Share

windows-phone-7-marketplaceMicrosoft's Windows Phone platform seems to be picking up some steam across the pond, or so a new report from Kantar Worldpanel claims. According to their study, Symbian now only accounts for 2.4% of the UK smartphone market while the Windows Phone platform has grown from 0.5% last year to around 2.5%, barely inching ahead of Nokias former smartphone OS of choice. I know, a victory is a victory, but Windows Phone's triumph has much more to do with how far Symbian has fallen in just a year. As of February 2011, Symbian could be found on 12.4% of smartphones in the UK, with its popularity tanking over the intervening months.
