The amount of apps available for the Nokia Lumia 800 at the Windows Phone Marketplace is growing at a staggering rate with Marketplace recently passing the 50,000 apps mark. With more than 40,000 of these already available for UK Nokia Windows Phone users, you can now enjoy more apps than ever on your new Nokia smartphone.
Nokia Lumia 800 has 34 of the top 50 iPhone apps…with more to come!
In a fascinating report recently published by AllAboutWindowsPhone, the amazing growth of the Windows Phone Marketplace is shown to be continuing at a rate of 265 apps per day, beating both Android and BlackBerry OS in the amount of time it took to reach the 50,000 apps mark.
In the detailed report you can clearly see that, while it took the Windows Phone Marketplace a year to reach 40,000 apps, it then grew to 50,000 apps in just 40 days; a staggering amount of growth and one that shows great promise for how many new apps will become available for the Nokia Lumia 800 in the months to come.
While not all 50,000 of these apps are available in the UK, due to restricted availability in some global markets, roughly 40,305 are currently available according to the report. And with 58 per cent of Windows Phone apps available free, the future for apps looks great for Windows Phone users.
Of the available apps, the most popular categories are Entertainment, Tools+Productivity, Books+Reference and Games, each comprising around 14 per cent of the total amount of apps available. So, if you’re looking for a phone to let you stay entertained and productive on the move, the Lumia 800 has it all.
