14 DAY TRIAL // Apparently, sales of Nokia's Lumia Windows Phones have kicked off great for the company, and more devices that initially expected have started to be produced.
Reports emerged on the company placing orders for mode handsets with Compal Communications, so as to manage to meet demand that the newly released devices face.
Back in October, Compal shipped a number of 200,000 devices, including Nokia's phones and other handsets, it seems, but that number went up to 600,000 in November, a Chinese-language Commercial Times report shows, cited by DigiTimes.
Apparently, Nokia is set to deliver more and more devices to users in the coming months, though the actual volume shipments are not expected to kick off until next year.
The Finnish mobile phone maker already announced that it planned to ramp up production of Windows Phone devices in 2012, with handsets set to arrive on shelves in a number of over 30 countries around the world.
Apparently, orders received by Compal for this month and the next are only half as large as those placed for the first months of 2012.
During the first quarter of the next year, Compal is expected to ship more than double the number of handsets it would ship during the fourth quarter of 2011, it seems.
Starting today, Nokia's Lumia Windows Phones are expected to become available for purchase in Taiwan, after being released on shelves in a few European markets last week.
Before the end of the year, both Lumia 800 and Lumia 710 will be launched in more markets around the world, though only less than a dozen of them will receive the phones.
Next year, however, things will change and these smartphones will be launched in more markets around the world, just as stated above.
Moreover, Nokia is expected to unveil some new models in 2012, both targeted at the high-end of the market, as well as at the mid- to lower-segment.
