Good news has come out of China yet again for Nokia. Photos of a crowd gathering inside and around the Nokia Shangai store in the country has been published online that reveal a high interest in the latest flagship Windows Phone. As well as visual popularity with high numbers turning out, the handset also sold out in just two hours, according to IThome.

Nokia previously experienced a positive reception with Chinese consumers with the Lumia 800 overtaking the iPhone in marketshare. The Lumia 920 is a more powerful Windows Phone with a number of highlighted features that are not currently sported by competing hardware. The photos of interest shown aren't evidence of high sales in the country, so we're eager for sales figures to be revealed.

As mentioned above, stock has sold out in a reported two hours. As was the case in other markets, only a limited supply of Lumia 920s were most likely received by the store, which will dampen down the news slightly - but any 'sold out' report is something to cheer about while the platform remains in the slow stages of brand development.

Check out crowd numbers below, where those who were queueing up received treats from Nokia, including both snacks and bottled drink.
