According to report released by the Nielsen Company, by the end of 2011, there could be more smartphones in the US than the less advanced feature phones.
This report has also noted the Android platform's continuous rapid growth. It appears (subject to several caveats) that over the past six months Android has edged past the Apple iPhone platform with regards to new subscribers.
However even with the latest increase, the iPhone still remains the best-selling smartphone of all time. An interesting statistics is that “among current subscribers thinking of switching” mobile phones, 90 percent of iPhone owners remain loyal to the handset. On the contrary, the report said that 21 percent of Android users and 29 percent of BlackBerry owners have considered switching to the iPhone.
It is clear that one thing holding the iPhone back from "world domination" is the fact that it is available through only one carrier, AT&T, as opposed to Android and BlackBerry smartphones being available on multiple various carriers.
It appears from the report that Nokia also held onto a substantial lead in the smartphone market worldwide. According to the report Nokia maintained a 38 percent share of the global smartphone market, shipping a record 24 million in the latest quarter. However, let's not forget that smartphones are defined very broadly and if we were to compare apples to apples, pardon the pub, the figures would have looked somewhat different.
