That really depends on exactly how those numbers were counted. For example, if 25 million growth in handsets in the "smartphone" market were on CDMA networks, then neither Apple (who hasn't yet released a CDMA device) nor Nokia (who haven't released a CDMA smartphone) "should have" had growth in that 25 million handsets.

Who ships CDMA smartphones? Handset makers who up to now haven't had a smartphone OS and ship Android, and Blackberry.

I would like to see GSM-specific numbers, otherwise this is really just "smartphones come to CDMA".
