Not to get to excited and keeping there hopes high, Nokia users will be merging to more open source, due to Symbian was unrestricted! WP8 will tumble, and this will be good news for Android and iOS fans, users.

Of course Microsoft took over third place: was there ever any doubt? It will eventually take over first place, in about five to ten years...

WP8 is slick, robust, developer friendly, and has an insane amount of potential. Let's hope it keeps up the momentum.

Isn't this obvious?

BB's big server advantages from the past have not completely translated over to the present and have opened the door to competing services and technologies to be adopted by the corporate community in general. Apple and Android being the obvious entrants, but also MSFT with its deeply integrated and capable host of corporate products & services. Coupled with BYOD cost cutting policies, BB needs a consumer hit to remain viable, even in the corporate martket, going forward. Given its CASH arsenal, BB is way outgunned...even with a very nice OS (which "borrows" a lot from Nokia's Meego, by the way)

Give it a quarter or 2 and Blackberry will be beating Windows again.

Someone is wrong. My money is on comScore being right.

I disagree.. They will never regain third place.. They don't have the power, money or resources to come back. They will be good just to survive this year with this march launch ( that is way late) ®©

Windows Phone needs to get its shinola together regarding XBOX games and videos for WP8. The former is releasing new titles at a snail's pace and the latter is non-existant. Even Blackberry has a video store now.
