Sales of Nokia Lumia 800 have been great so far, Nokia says, and the fact that the new mobile phone is now listed as out of stock in the UK at wireless carrier Orange seems to confirm that.

Apparently, more than just one Orange store lists the smartphone as temporarily unavailable, which is a good sign for the Finnish mobile phone maker, that's for sure.

More units should arrive on shelves soon, as the vendor has placed large orders with Compal for the remaining of the year.


Apparently, the company might be able to sell over one million Nokia Lumia 800 handsets before 2011 is over, although some suggest that it will not be able to pull that off.

Nokia Lumia 800 handsets have made a good impression on users ever since day one, and more of them are expected to find it a great device and make a purchase.

Earlier today, Nokia told us that they are pleased with the way Lumia 800 took off in the UK, and that many of the early adopters are likely to recommend the device to other people, which is highly encouraging.

This means that we should expect high volume sales next year, when the company kicks off mass production of its Windows Phone devices.

Not to mention that there will be more devices from the company launched in 2012, just as Nokia Taiwan confirmed recently.

Michael Hus, general manager of Nokia Taiwan, reportedly said that new devices are planned for the first half of 2012, but he did not offer specific info on them.

However, previous reports on the matter suggested that the company planned the launch of higher-end Windows Phones for 2012, and that it also intended to expand its lineup at the lower market level.

For the time being, Nokia Lumia 800 and Lumia 710 are the only official handsets from the company, and they seem to play their pioneering role well. After all, they are the very first devices Nokia launches with Microsoft's platform on board.

Why is other publications so quick to claim how many (or few) units Nokia will be shipping? In Australia - I found this an interesting thread which details the demand for the new phones http://exchange.telstra.com.au/2011/11/04/new-gadgets-arrive-for-christmas
