True Blackberry had not released its Q4 shipments so that will have to wait. Your definition of smart phones is plainly not the same as mine. Microsoft does not make phones - it has created an operating system I am very close to the Nokia people in Asia and they lament their absence of true smart phones which are seen as such by the public. While I will happily accept I do not understand the situation all of the phone people I have interview in the last two days - it is the Apple launch in Bangkok - tell me that you are not correct. Let us wait from the Blackberry figures and then I think the order will be Apple and RIM with its Blackberry. In fairness, I do not count Microsoft nor yet Google Android for they are operating systems not phones. The contentious point is Nokia. I think they are smart phones, you think they are smart phones, I do not believe the users think they are smart phones. It is possible they will. It will take an immense effort for Nokia to do that. I think it possible, even probable. It has not happened yet. In fact, no it isn’t. True Blackberry had not released its Q4 shipments so that will have to wait.

I expected more from tech.blorge. The short version is that all S60 phones are smartphones, and can do anything most other smartphones can, depending on the skill of the operator. That includes things like push e-mail and multi-tasking. That means Nokia outsold everyone else by multiples likely. Secondly, apple's 4.4 million are their shipped phones. The Black market can not sell phones Apple did not ship, so it is all accounted for. Next, MS sold 5 million licenses to smartphone OEM's in 2008. Whether these went out in shipped phones from OEM we do not know, but one may as well assume so. Lastly, Blackberry and RIM is already well established, and probably holds the second position. They did not release Q4 shipments yet. In short, you do not seem to understand the situation, but the ranking is Nokia, RIM, Microsoft and Apple.
