IDC: Smartphone OS Market Share 2014, 2013, 2012, and 2011
"Android continues to dominate the global smartphone market, with over 255 million units shipped and nearly 85% of the market share in the second quarter of 2014."
Sorry to confuse you with facts :facepalm:
Yes, Android sold more than iOS, but no single android phone sold more than Iphone... So you can retract your facepalm and facts... Iphone is still by far the most selling phone, Android is the best selling OS, but it's fair to say that more than 95% of the phones on the market are Android, so it's kind of easy to sell more OS's
Here are some facts for you:
Soon to be replace Iphone 5S sold more than Galaxy S5 in it's debut month.

- This article on The Verge titled "Smartphones are about to get awesome again", about next month's launches doesn't even have one word about BlackBerry.
What does this tells about BB's marketing?

With so many people here on CB talking about a revolutionary square-shaped phone, one would expect to see a reference to it in an article titled "Smartphones are about to get awesome again" that begins with the sentence "Smartphones. They�re all just a bunch of undifferentiated rectangles, right?"
Right?08-30-14 03:59 AMLike 0 - I guess you're right Same old, same old.

Right?
This is not the year that BlackBerry will regain it's share of the consumer market. It is not yet their intention to do so.anon(7915689) likes this.08-30-14 04:31 AMLike 1 - This article on The Verge titled "Smartphones are about to get awesome again", about next month's launches doesn't even have one word about BlackBerry.

Posted via CB1008-30-14 06:23 AMLike 0 - I have been carrying BlackBerry since the 8310 with brief stints with other devices. I am not surprised an article didn't mention them, just like I'm not surprised when everyone gives me crap for still carrying a BlackBerry. I simply laugh at them while writing an email, walking and not double checking my response before sending.
They can keep talking crap with their cracked iphones and I will continue to support the company I believe in. BlackBerry is not dead to me and I don't think they are headed in that direction.
Posted via Q1008-30-14 08:07 PMLike 3 - This says it all....and its where I personally stopped reading and wasting my time:
" A 4-inch iPhone still dominates the consumer landscape, HTC is still designing beautiful but flawed masterpieces, and Samsung is still the world�s foremost purveyor of cheap plastic.
:facepalm:
Posted via CB1008-31-14 02:56 AMLike 0 - Well it's from The Verge, so no surprise at all. There is a very interesting thread in The Verge's forums about the state of The Verge. In a nutshell, the vast majority of their own readers complain about the decline in substance and quality of the content. The page and the crew behind it shifted from what once was an awesome technology site so some kind of wannabe hipster NY apple fanboys. Sorry but there is no other way to describe it. They bash everything not apple because it seems to be cool. I miss Josh's reviews of the Nexus phones and Joanna's notebook reviews. Now, The Verge cannot be taken serious.

That's how they make their living. If BBRY would be willing to cash out for an article I assume headline would be gracing words like big comeback.08-31-14 09:07 AMLike 0

Arrogant in their writing, arrogant in their findings and arrogant in their conclusions and recommendations. I don't want arrogance on a tech site. I don't want a bunch of losers dictating me what is hip or not. In every review (i.e. Chromebooks, Surface etc) you will find the phrase "but for X $ more/less, you could have got a MacBook Air.

- The Verge is never been BlackBerry minded so it's no suprise. I say let it be.
The Sales of BlackBerry is lesser that 1% users worldwide. BB users is around 2,3% (42 Million vs 1.8 Billion Smartphones) so far I know but the smartphone market is growing very quick the last 2 years but not for BlackBerry also the world wide negative news about BB10, BB10 smartphones and dead of BlackBerry was not helping. So BlackBerry going for Enterprise and Internet of thing to support every brand make sense.
There are 2 Brands that take up the whole market and that is Samsung and second Apple.Last edited by whatsever; 08-31-14 at 01:58 PM.

Posted via CB1008-31-14 02:18 PMLike 0 - Samsung has a bigger market share than Apple when it comes to smartphones sales. Its Galaxy line is more successful than the iPhone. There's really no excuse for what The Verge wrote, it's simply a lie.

Most think in platforms, Apple or Android...then the "others".
Android is not only leading but growing...fast.08-31-14 03:03 PMLike 0 - Actually...
The 4" iPhone does not dominate..period (painfully obvious)
HTC is designing nice devices, loved by their owners..only flaw is that they are not iPhones (guessing opinion of author)
Samsung has plastic and so do many other devices...it is a quality device and a very respectful competitor to any device out there.
Any quality sales guy will tell you ..the second you have to trash the competitor to a cold call you just lost the sale.
The second part was "HTC....Flawed design". This has NOTHING to do with it not being an Apple product and EVERYTHING to do with the phone itself. The quote was referencing how HTC has built one of the best Android phones of all time, but means nothing when its achilles is a major one which would be its camera, ie flawed. Again NOTHING to do with it not being Apple because I guarantee if they had put a great camera on the back they would have locked down the most Android device sales.
On to Samsung. They are known to be one of the most uninspiring companies when it comes to phone design/material. You bringing other companies who also use plastic further promote Samsung's problem. Why can other companies also use plastic in their phone and make better use of it, but Samsung cannot? It doesn't matter how many phones Samsung sells in the Android side of things because they have the deepest pockets and keep their products in peoples minds, but at this point in its phone life cycle they aren't retaining customers. A lot of them are going to other phone companies after using the their devices due to a myriad of reasons and good number attests to the materials used in its design. LG is the company largely benefiting from this.
Apple may not be the #1 company in terms of sales around the globe and the iPhone may not be the #1 phone in every country, but rest assured no other company is making the money Apple makes off of their phones and for damn sure no modern, singular device has sold more.
