I don't think the prize for the 3rd place has been given out yet. Possible contenders are BlackBerry, Bada, and WP. Symbian still sells ok-ish, but is clearly a dead end. And then there are some new players including Tizen, Sailfish, and Firefox OS.
Personally, I'd like to see a properly open alternative do well. Firefox OS would be the best for the web, and Sailfish for Linux in general.
- herval 14y agoThanks for remembering Bada :-) I totally agree there's still a sort of draw for who the third one will be, but I think it's quickly converging towards WP8 due mainly to Nokia's bet on it...

Agree to this... users do not care about Linux and often has a negative feel among the masses in China; the try to be Windows when you can get the real stuff for 'free'. They care more about access to service and being able to do the same as their friends/colleagues, play games, access to 微信 (weixin, wechat), 微博 (weibo), etc. For this the compatibility layer might come in handy, since without it is hard to find the users. Note: Blackberry and Bada are not really contenders in China. WP maybe, but purely due to the looks of the phone (eg Lumia), but was faced with no store access in China for a long time.
