Smartphone sales rise 3.7% worldwide in the 4th quarter

The market share of smartphone operating systems was led by Symbian with a 47.1% cut of the OS market, down from 62.3% due to the decline in Nokia smartphone sales. RIM replaced Windows Mobile in the runner-up position with the RIM OS garnering a 19.5% piece of the pie. Gartner's Research Director Roberta Cozza said that this year would see a major battle among the different mobile platforms as the user's experience with the UI of different smartphones gains in importance.

What's also interesting to note is that I'm starting to see a lot of teenagers my age group (16 and up) owning smartphones as well.

First of, it's "waste." But yes, I do agree that teenagers shouldn't be buying smartphones because that's not the target consumer. Most of the time, my friends don't even know the phone they have IS a smartphone. I just shake my head with the lack of education they have on cell phones. That's why most teenagers should just stick with dumbphones.

For the record, I was mostly talking about how teenagers are owning Blackberries, Centros, etc. Smartphones for the business consumer, not the teenage market.
