        I'm employed by a huge European mobile sales/distribution company; so here is some news folks.

        Broken down ordering stats of Smartphones forward order for the next Q are as follows (by OS)

        Windows = 7%
        iOS = 16%
        Android = 65%
        Bada = 8%
        Symbian = 4%

        Windows will have a presence, but this 7% is an optimistic order. So far this OS has not only underperformed, but is mostly unrecognized as a mobile system.
        Next, iOS is in line with sales figures we saw in Q1 and more so in Q2 with iOS loosing ground to Android. And includes an initial expected surge of buyers for the iPhone 5. Our option to increase orders looks likely with Android even more for next year, perhaps closing in on a 70% market share.
        Bada is the big surprise and will be a solid budget VFM handset. Bada is increasingly popular and fills the gap left by Web OS, worth noting that Bada is leading or customer satisfaction tables and we have less returns than any other handset.
        Simbian continues it's presences, but sales forecasts look bleak.

                    Symbian offers useful features on a secure platform; It will NEVER be overtaken by android - not now, nor in the future.
                    Dream on (android)fanboys.

                                    android took 1 year to jump 3 places, so it needs 4 months to jump to the first place.
                                    Symbian got it is big chance but in the last year (before android) they have freezed with out any progress, and all the new virsions (Belle and Anna) are a cpoy/paste of android.

                                      Google stalks your internet searches and store them. They read and file your emails on your gmail account.
                                      gooogle track every step you take.
                                      nokia i the only safe place with symbian. no virus either.
                                      Android store is full of spyware , malware and virus.
