I was actually under the impression RIM was doing far worse then it appears they are. Yes they are third place but look at Microsoft's Windows phones or Symbian or any other phone for that matter, RIM is kicking the shit out of them.


Uh-uh. Typical Joe.


Depends on how you look at things. In absolute terms, If you look at the composite index in that image I linked (the purple line, an unweighted average of revenue share, profit share, smartphone share, and cell phone share), you're right, Nokia has about twice the phone market presence of RIM and they are in third place

But if you look at the delta, RIM's market power has declined around four points, down 33% from their peak in Q2 2010. In the same timeframe, Nokia has collapsed fifteen points, or 50% since Q2 2010. We'll see if the new WinPho7 Lumias can turn things around, but right now, Nokia is dropping harder and faster than RIM.
