Over a third on planet Earth … how do you like them apples! It is sad to see that Nokia is losing market share in America. It all makes sense however; people think that the only phones they can use with [insert name of a USA cell service provider] are the ones that are offered by said company. It pains me when I see people pout over the fact that they can’t get phone ABC because it’s a “Cingular phone†when in fact they can! Sure you can get a phone on the cheap because you sign your soul away for 2 years, but I’ll have none of that!
UPDATE: I misread the PR, it was 35.1% in the world, not Asia!
