It will be very interesting to see how much of this bump they can hold in Q1 2012.
Also, the article downplays how much RIM got slaughtered. Not just "down 6%" but from 7.0 to 1.4% marketshare. Ouch.

- rednukleus 14y agoYeah, that's the one.
- jlgreco 14y ago> Not just "down 6%" but from 7.0 to 1.4% marketshare. Yeah, that drives me nutty. That is not "6%" down, that is "6 percentage points". The pertentage drop is far larger than 6%.
- ajross 14y agoIt's not so much a "bump" as a cycle. They release a phone every year, this was that quarter. Clearly they won't sell the same number of units next quarter. Their competitors ship far more (and more varied) products and don't really show that kind of behavior. So next quarter we'll be treated to "iOS is shrinking!" posts which are equally silly. And next fall the circle of life will repeat. As you correctly point out, the real news in this data is that Blackberry sales dropped by 80%, which is so shocking that I wonder if a digit got slipped somewhere.
- Steko 14y ago"so shocking that I wonder if a digit got slipped somewhere." Sounds like Verizon flipped a certain digit at RIM. Possibly a good amount of August 2012 iPhone syndrome as well, "don't buy a Blackberry now, the new ones are coming in January"
