Samsung's shipments have been helped by the Samsung GALAXY Note II |
After the 69.2% of the global smartphone market in Q4 2012 that belonged to Android, iOS was next with 22.1%. There was a big drop after that with BlackBerry and Microsoft making up 3.5% and 2.4% of the market respectively. That leaves Nokia on the bottom of the top five with a 1.5% share.

Which one could be easier to be placed in third spot?
Taking some away from Samsung(29%) or Apple(22.1%) or Others(34.5%) ?
My answer is the last one, Others(34.5%) for quite a while

Steve Wozniak already said it... Apple is GOING DOWN!!!
Do you need another hint?
Perhaps a lighting strike on your head?

That's very much unrealistic dude. You can't expect Apple to go down THAT fast.
In fact, it would take QUITE A LOT of CEO mistakes (Stephen Elop at Nokia, I'm looking at you) for a company as successful as Apple to go down drastically.
I'm not saying that there are no indications of trouble inside Apple but that's just way too pessimistic.

Microsoft, Blackberry and Nokia ???
Are you comparing OS or Phone Manufacturer ??
Nokia is producing Symbian and Windows Phone.
This article does not make sense at all.

It make sense... Nokia is a looser.
what sense do you want?
Microsoft = WP
Nokia = Symbian
12. darac posted on 08 Feb 2013, 02:46 0 0
Exactly.
Nokia refers to Symbian here.
Out of WP total, Nokia sold 4 million (given their in house report of 7 million smartphones sold ), while HTC did 1

Well well.. Microsoft 5.1 million phones.
Wow.
That's just lower than even I have expected.
Thats THIRTY TIMES LESS than Google did!
Lmao.
All those Lumia 920 sold out stories become much clearer now - it's a low volume trick done by Nokia.
The demand was obviously still high, but with unlimited supply I don't think it would sell more than 4 million units.

you mean like the nexus 4 (lg only manufactured around 400,000 units in total) or the blackberry z10 ???

Sure, keep telling that to yourself, Microsoft lover.
There's NOTHING dodgy about them.
Nokia reported 7 million smartphone sales in their q4 report.
3M Symbians and 4M Lumias
