Canalys have chipped in with their version of the worldwide Q1 2010 figures for phones and smartphones. Most numbers are similar to the IDC/Gartner ones (e.g. Nokia 38.8% world smartphone marketshare, RIM 19.2%, Apple 15.9%), but there are extra numbers brought out, such as breaking down the different interfaces and form factors. See below.

> with Apple making the most relative gains.
The way I look at the figures, it's Motorola who've made most relative gains - 136.8% vs Apple's 130.8%. Perhaps I've misunderstood the comment...?

Apple went from 3.79mil to 8.75mil, and Moto went from 1.10mil to 2.60mil.

Yes, I can read too.
Apple: (8.75-3.79)/3.79=1.3087
Moto: (2.60-1.10)/1.10=1.3636
Perhaps 'relative gains' somehow doesn't equate to 'growth'...begs the question...relative to *what* exactly...
If it is meant to be an absolute shipments figure of 2010-2009, then Nokia have made the biggest gain (much bigger, actually):
Nokia: 21429680-13683920=7745760
Apple: 8752180-3792479=4959710
I never did much understand statistics...
