Last I checked, Apple's iPhone has nearly reached 20% global smartphone market share and it still isn't rolled out in every country with China and Korea just opening up for them: two of the hottest spots for smartphones. Apple is AHEAD of Nokia in smartphone market share - period.
LOL. You must be dreaming.

According to Canalys ( http://www.canalys.com/pr/2009/r2009112.html ) Nokia has slightly increased their market share on smartphones from 2008 to 2009. They are steady at 40%. RIM is doing it really great, while HTC is having a hard time, as is MS OS. Anyway, just wanted to point out that your numbers are completely wrong.

But I am starting to fail to see the points of these threads. If you want a Nexus (with useless OLED screen) or a 3gs (the mobile phone industry equivalent of a "big mac" ie. tasty the first 5 bites), then get one and get over it. It is not like Nokia will crumble and disappear because of it.

And as pointed out by many. Reading US blogs and US news to get info about the mobile industry, is a waste of time. Well, for everyone except those who actually can use this nonsense info as an advantage when trading, as many do
