Those figures don't add up. Previous quarter, RIM, Apple, Google, Microsoft, and Palm have total share of 97.1%, current quarter 96.8%. Assuming the remainder is Nokia's share then it has, gasp, gone up!

Yet, within the article itself, it's stated that Nokia has a 7.8% share of the US smartphone subscriber base.
The pcmag article doesn't make clear (or author is confused). Use the source and you'll see that Nokia's quoted marketshare is for mobile subscriptions (ie total mobile subscribers including dumbphones/smartphones/etc).
