WP7 might get a significant boost in Q4 since plenty of manufacturers are getting it ready on their devices. If Nokia did tweaked the OS (screw Elop's words), it might stand out much more compared to the similar crowd.

I'm more surprised about HTC's market share! Stunning. My conclusion thus far: manufacturers that provide devices focused on the end user experience will be kings of the mobile world. That's also the reason Samsung has not gained a very large share yet with the SGS2 - that is just another Droid. HTC's phones provide and advertise with HTC Sense, their support is more than awesome and they listen to the community, and they're in the money.
Iphones do the same: the end user experience is trouble-free, and look what happened :)

Sun Down, 29 Jul 2011I'm surprised too, considering the hype the SGSII had made ... moreSamsung Galaxy S II had been in the US for only a few days, less than a month, and besides, HTC and BlackBerry are traditional rulers of smartphone market in the US. Considering the growth of Samusng worldwide, this image should change soon, but it's too early yet as Samsung has only begun to seriously grow over US market.

What I'm saying is that the standard would increase in the future, where specs of low-end to mid-end phones would be known as dual-cores, 2 GHz clock speeds and the likes. Since it's labelled as such, Symbian would take these ''low-end/mid-end'' devices comfortably.

Symbian might run out, but now, it has come around a lot. US market aint worldmarket and worldmarket is much more important.
What I dont get is, how so many people aint able to realize that not everybody on earth has over $600 to get a smartphone. Socially Sybian is the best OS following Android and iOS is only for ricdh snops and people who want to be like them.

For low-midrange devices the OS is still viable because it doesn't offer much less than other comparable devices of a different OS. But for high-end, Symbian has never and will never aspire to becoming useful; the OS isn't built or optimized for it. Even though an update could bring new functionality, it will always be one or more steps behind Android and WP7 that now have the full attention of the manufacturers. Symbian has been outsourced and will be deceased by 2016, if you honestly expect stunning new features and optimization, you'd be gravely mistaken.

Apple is doing everything on there power to band every galaxy serie from the us market. but worldwide gs2 are selling like hotcake. The built quality of Htc is by far better than the cheap plastic use on every samsumg.

These progresses, if economical, will allow higher performance on a smaller scale while also maintaining proper power consumption. So it won't be strange to have a dual-core ''dumbphone'' or a quad-core smartphone in the near future. As long as the OS works well with the cores then it'll be a great product, which is why I want Belle to adopt this quickly.

@Sun Down
Whatever your analysis is you are right but tell u one thing as symbian is being used by most of the people worldwide android has just come and u could see all the analysis that it has been most popular initially then u can imagine with this. Whole world gonna use smartphone soon and If symbian wont take any steps further developing the UI and os. It would certainly fall down I myself a symbian user recently moved to android and even I use symbian too.

with or without symbian, nokia was never popular in the US market. their abandoning of symbian only further accelerate their woes in the US what with the bad publicity that came out of it.
