HTC alone shipped 13.2 million handsets in Q3 2011 – more than spots 4 and 5 combined. Not getting a very informative view of the actual market.

It’s odd that Samsung chooses not to disclose their true number of units. Oh well, that’s certainly their right. Cheers.

I should have been more clear. ;) Thanks for reading!

I think the # of phones sold by Samsung matters to those (like me) who invest in stocks which supply Samsung, AAPL, or both (as is often the case). The more the merrier!
Good article as always, I enjoy reading your column. Cheers.
