Windows phone devices selling four times more than in 2011.

The Windows Phones from HTC are Nokia -- are getting rave reviews and have already been sold out in places around the world. We are working with our partners who are ramping supply, launching new markets and we're already selling four times more phones than at the same time last year.

Windows phone has reportedly quadrupled new sales for the platform from it's previous recordings last year. You may say that sounds easy, since windows phone 7 had abysmal traction, but it's certainly good news for people worried that Windows phone 7.5/8 wouldn't gain traction at all.

What's your take, is this expected or surprising to you?
