Microsoft continues to make a big push with the Windows Phone platform, but figures out today from Strategy Analytics indicate that it's still barely moving the needle against the Android/iOS juggernaut. In 2012, Microsoft's Windows Phone will account for only four percent of the 123 million smartphones that will be sold in the U.S. in the year. That's a rise, but of only one percentage point compared to 2011. In terms of actual unit numbers, this works out to 5 million devices sold in 2012, compared to 3.5 million in 2011.This will not come as good news to Nokia, which has staked a lot of its future -- and its ability to crack the U.S. market specifically -- on the success of the platform. Nokia is expected to report its earnings tomorrow and people will be looking carefully at how well Windows Phone smartphones are selling compared to devices built on Nokia's legacy platform Symbian: a sign of too few on the newer platform could be a sign that the new strategy is not sticking.
