The latest Comscore numbers for the 3 months ending December 2012 (ie Q4 2012) is now out, and it shows a continuing decline in the number of Windows Mobile + Windows Phone users.
There are now 125.9 million smartphone users in USA, with WP + WM users accounting for 3.65 million users, 48,000 down from a month ago.
With the conversion rate from Windows Mobile to Windows Phone clearly being very low, this number will likely continue to drift down to the 2% market share of Windows Phone itself.
