Windows Phone, Should Microsoft give up the Flagship?

Gravis Ludus' Carl Williams writes, "Windows Phone is not exactly burning up the sales charts, even though it is purportedly holding nearly 3% of the worldwide mobile market share according to the IDC. Within the United States we see a very lopsided sales situation going on- low-end is selling and the high-end is dragging its feet way down the list. While the Lumia 1020 was advertised as decimating the competition as far as the camera was concerned but it currently only holds a 3% share of the Windows Phones sold to date, according AdDuplex. Worldwide it is slightly different as the 1020 doesn’t even rank and the overall market is dominated, much like in the United States, by low-end devices. See where this is going, folks?"
