img_28111_symbian_os-1.gif Its been a year since we last ran the numbers and its time to find out how everyone weights in at the smartphone market scale. Overall the smartphone community has grown which is always good, but the surprising numbers are coming from Symbian.

Back in the day Symbian was holding in at a steady 65.6 in market share. Today they’re looking at a measly 57.1. Isn’t China supposed filled with these things? The major change comes from new competition from apple, new devices, and Symbian just not bringing the innovation. The fact that Windows mobile has launched the Treo Pro, HTC Tilt, and Daimond didn’t help them either.

Windows mobile has grown from 11.5 to a solid 12 coming in at a third place next to those crackberry users. Surprisingly RIM users have jumped from 8.9 to 17.4. How did that happen? Not sure but like Luke 23 says “Forgive them for they know not what they do”.
