"That was the word from Gartner, which on Wednesday reported that RIM cracked the top five mobile device manufacturers by worldwide market share for the first time" RIM's worldwide market share reach 3.4 percent.
"Among smartphone operating systems, Nokia's Symbian is tops at a 44.3 percent market share of smartphones sold, although that's down from its 48.8 percent market share in the first quarter of 2009. RIM's OS market share is also down, to 19.4 percent in this year's Q1 from last year's 20.6 percent. Apple (NSDQ:AAPL), at the number three spot with the iPhone OS, has a 15.4 percent market share, up from 10.5 percent last year. And Android -- the biggest gainer on the list -- holds the number four spot with a 9.6 percent share, up from 1.6 percent a year ago. "
BB sales are increasing... which is great for RIM.
But I bet they are not too happy to see that they have lost market share to APPLE and especially to ANDROID phones.
