iOS is on the verge of becoming a passe by Android devices.
Not only in the US but in other countries, notably the UK, Germany, France and
Japan, the iPhone saw double-digit falls in market share - which could mean
that even if it is selling more phones, it is not growing the number as quickly
as the market is expanding.

Meanwhile Microsoft's Windows Phone
launch has made barely a ripple, with the company's share of the market falling
in every country as the last of its previous-generation Windows Mobile phones
are phased out. Kantar's figures suggest that only 1m Windows Phone devices
were sold since they launched - around half the number that Microsoft has
repeatedly said have been "shipped".

Analysis across European
markets revealed that Nokia accounted for the largest share of total mobile
handsets (feature phone and smartphones combined) across four of the five EU5 markets
in December 2011, including the UK (24.4 percent), Germany (29.1 percent),
Italy (43.8 percent) and Spain (40.7 percent), while coming in second to
Samsung in France with 18.5 percent share. Samsung secured more than one-third
of the total mobile market in France at 37.9 percent and led in the U.S. (25.3
percent) and Canada (24.3 percent). Apple, which was absent from the top 3 OEM
rankings last year, made its way to the #3 position in the UK (13.6 percent)
and France (10.1 percent) driven by continued smartphone adoption and the
recent introduction of iPhone 4S
