"But we won't tell you any actual numbers or methodology unless you sign up for our service." Yeah, no thanks.

Saw that coming with Android's share getting eaten. Should go on for a few quarters as things shake out with the newcomers Windows and a resurgent BB.

I'd think a report like this would have a percentage break down of the results.

Sad

Android did not lose market share when you look at the global picture according to all other analytic firms. This makes me wonder who own's this particular firm...

I'm interested to see how the new BlackBerry does. I'm not buying a device or anything; I'm very curious.

If the price is right and the marketing good then maybe. But its a big maybe. Most BB owners have fled to the Android/iOS bandwagon. This includes corporate.

Short BB

BB will get a few nostalgia buys, but once they realize it is Android in disguise they will just go back to Android.

Personally love my Lumia 920, but even buying it a few months after launch it was difficult to find even a simple black one. I really wonder how many would-be WP8 buyers were simply turned away at the door, and so they ended up with Android or iPhone. Nokia makes some great phones, but unless they can get volume out there then they are still a bit doomed. WP8 is a great platform, with a good app selection that is growing quickly, and I don't regret my purchase. The only thing that will keep me from getting a WP device in 2 years when my contract is up is if they have Wallet working yet. It is a great idea, and very secure implementation, but if it never gets off the ground then I will gladly sell my soul to whoever lets me get rid of my wallet.

Bye Bye.

Apple must be sweating bullets...

Not.

I would have already switch to Windows Phone OS if my POS carrier Sprint would offer it.
