1.5 billion mobile handsets sold in 2011, nearly one third are smartphones. Nokia is still top dog for handsets, but Samsung and Apple sold more smartphones.

The iPhone is a nice device. However, the stark reality is that the current market share is less than 1.5%, the cost remains prohibitive and the majority of mobile phone users barely know how to send a text message or use their camera phone. When the iPhone is unleashed from the jaws of ATT (at least here in the US) there may be more significant traction; and don't forget that the iPhone is experiencing growing pains and difficulties penetrating Asian markets. I use a Nokia N95 8GB (which I won), and it is a shame they are not sold here in the US, many colleagues thinks it's a very cool phone when I do my hallway demos.
