Well the Forbes article I gave you earlier had numbers.  Anyway keep on believing that the iPhone is still the best selling smart if it makes you happy but reality says otherwise.  Also where did you get the number from that the iPhone sold over 100 just in 2011 I'm pretty sure you pulled that one out from where the sun doesn't shine.

The Forbes article uses IDC.. IDC uses shipment data from Apple and Samsung... now we are talking about sales but the IDC reports is all Samsumg smartphones not only Galaxy.

All Samsung Phones = 50.2 million
All iPhone = 26 million

I agree Samsung sell more smartphones... I don't agree Samsung sell more Galaxy phones than iPhone.

 And about iPhone sells around 100 million per year... well shipments... see the table:

Year Jan-Mar (Q2) Apr-Jun (Q3) Jul-Sep (Q4) Oct-Dec (Q1) Total
2011 18.65 20.34 17.07 37.04 93.10
2012 35.06 26.00 26.90   87.96

If you get the FY 2012 (Oct-Sep :: Q1-Q4) Apple sold 125 million iPhones.
