Just curious...

It has to just be 60+. If the Series 40 and equivalent devices were included, then WM, Palm, RIM, and even Series 60+ would all be just rounding errors.


The real interesting thing that's not shown by these figures is that WM is staking out a pretty solid #2 rating in much of the world, but in the US it's definitely #3. More than 80% of the treos are sold in the US.

The funny/depressing? thought about it is that P1 insists on putting BT on everything (which is needed in europe, where they have terrible sales), and refuse to put built-in wifi on basically anything (which is very useful in the US).
