LG has high hopes in the U.K. for its new high-end phone, the LG 4X HD |
What about BlackBerry? In the U.K., BlackBerry still is seen as a viable player in the industry even without the anticipation of BlackBerry 10. RIM's smartphones still have a better than 10% slice of the U.K.smartphone market. Windows Phone is making a move in the U.K. as its share of the smartphone market in the region is now 3.3%, up from .8% last year. Symbian has seen its slice of the U.K.smartphone pie tumble to 1.6% from last year's 10.7% meaning that in the country, Nokia has bet on the right jockey.

where is the ios share?
I have a bad feelings that ios is shrinking in UK... and cnet (apple biased) is trying to hide it...
I came from the iWorld and i know that most ios user has switched to oneX (thanks to htc for penetrating the android share)
iphone sell poorly in debted europe so i would not surprise that...

Windows Phone slow and steady... but for sure will be around 10% by the end of the year

After reading that 101 reason not to buy WP...I wonder...How MS will reach 10% market share...infact their OS is in beta state...opposite to commercials they run on tv!

You see British do have class...Samsung's Galaxy phones are big hit there...and Galaxy phones kick ass of any other smartphone on market.

Fortunately for them, the British can think for themselves instead of being led by the nose by Apple.

The truth hurts right Cosmo?! Android getting higher market share not only in the US, even now in UK. Its really a big joke if iOS getting a higher market share in the UK. Its a big ewe!!! Prove it that your iOS is leading in market share not only in UK but all parts of Europe. Prove it, eyesheep!!!!!

Gotta love our friends over their in the U.K. They know how to choose their phones

Have to agree with the article, HTC phones do appear to be more popular over here than in the US, cant see the gs3 taking off like the gs2 here though, people in the uk still arent that bothered about specs, hence why blackberries are still common over here, bleh. I can see Sony phones becoming more popular though, even if not yet... finally, unfortunately some Brits still dont have their heads screwed on and are still Apple isheep, but those that are, maybe arent as hardcore isheep as those in the us..

I'd bet that the Samsung Galaxy Ace and HTC Wildfire play a huge part in these numbers. The amount of people I know who have changed from a Samsung Tocco Lite to Galaxy Ace is insane!
