Smartphone Numbers

January 26th, 2010
  • US cellphone users (about 285 million subscriptions) represent only 7% of the global subscriber base of 4.6 Billion.
  • While Americans are now getting heavily into smartphones, Forrester.reported that the total installed base of smartphones in the USA is only 17%. The EU projects that for the EU region, smartphones will be half of all phones this year.
  • A couple of years ago, the Symbian operating system was owned across several giant handset makers (Nokia part owned with SonyEricsson, Samsung, Motorola etc) and had over 60% market share. Now being only Nokia’s owned operating system, its installed base is about 50% of the world’s smartphones and currently sell a little over 40% of the world’s smartphones.
  • 75% of American business/enterprise smartphones are Blackberries (says Ostermann survey in 2009)
  • Today one in five smartphones sold – actually already 21% by the third quarter of 2009 – was a Blackberry. Remember that only 17% of smartphones are Apple iPhones.
  • A survey by TBI Research in 2009 found that 80% of US businesses refuse to have more than one operating system for smartphones – and in most cases that is now the Blackberry.
  • Out of all iPhones ever sold, 43% have been activated by AT&T
  • HTC is the fourth largest smartphone maker with about 5% of the market.
  • HTC CEO said in 2009 that 80% of all WinMo phones ever made, were manufactured by HTC.
  • Samsung had previously held something like 3% market share in smartphones, but – in feature phones with touch screens – they already outsell the iPhone.
  • Motorola’s global handset market share has been in total freefall for years – they have gone from 22% to 5% in three years.
  • Palm sells only about 800,000 smartphones per year

Smartphone Survey

January 7th, 2010

From December 9-14 survey of 4,068 consumers:

  • Among respondents who currently own a smart phone, 4% say they’re currently using Google’s Android operating system – a 3-pt jump since our survey in September.
  • 21% of those planning to buy a smart phone in the next 90 days say they’d prefer to have the Android OS on their new phone – a monstrous 15-pt jump in just three months.

  • Three months ago Android OS was tied for last place in consumer preference among the major mobile operating systems. But since then it has surged into second place ahead of all competitors except the iPhone OS X (28%) – which remains the number one choice for operating systems, although down 4-pts from previously.
  • The RIM OS (18%; up 1-pt) is holding steady and the Palm OS/ Web OS (3%) and Windows Mobile (6%) are each down 3-pts since the September survey.

Forty-two percent of respondents now report they own a smart phone – up 3-pts since September.

Going forward, 12.8% of respondents say they plan on buying a smart phone in the next 90 days – the second highest percentage ever recorded in a ChangeWave survey.
