Those seem like overall US mobile phone sales - dumb phones included. Otherwise how could Samsung and LG take up such huge chunks of the market? HTC pretty much only sells smartphones and compared to Apple, they don't sell that much either. They probably only make up a very marginal portion of the overal mobile phone market.

So that's why I own both a EVO and a Nexus One with plans to buy a Nexus S? I just stated what's likely to be the truth. Do you really hate the fact that Apple likely outsells every other smartphone OEM that much to post a reply like that? Who cares if Apple sells more. I was just answering someones curiosity.

I'm too lazy to confirm right now but most likely Apple sells more phones than any single company in America. That just means Apple makes more money and has the biggest balls on the block when it comes to bragging rights. We all know how Steve Jobs love to brag about the size of his balls compared to everyone else when it comes to press conferences.
Now you can based your purchase decision on ball size or you can get the phone that you feel will suit you. The evo suited me when I purchased it and the evo 3d looks like it will suit me next. I guess that means I love Taiwanese balls over old american hippy's balls? O' Well.

Look at what I was replying to. Google makes up 3x% of the market split by all the OEMs (Samsung, HTC, Motor, LG, etc.), Apple's 2x% is made up by just Apple. Someone asked where's HTC in the OEM share chart and I responded by saying that their individual share is probably insignificant in overall mobile phone sales. Apple's isn't, and that's why their 2x% share is a much bigger business success than any Android commited OEM. Not to mention that they get a large cut from itune app and media sales.
Next time put your emotions to the side and read what you're responding to.

I don't really wanna point and laugh. There is no way they are going to ignore the android users that to the same thing. Eventually, this type of thing may come Sprints way.
I hope not, I can't remember the last time I tethered.. but would still hate to have it taken away from me. I surely will not pay 30$ a month for it.
I think it might be important to point out that this is not just an iphone thing, but any customer with a tether capable phone.

People will always complain and complain and complain, that's how society works. I had a guy that called in to cancel his account a few days ago because his phone wasn't working. After ranting and screaming he said "you know what, all the **** that happened in Japan and i'm pissed off over a phnte? I'll just go buy a phone, im not cancelling, im sorry man" and hung up the line.
There's so much **** going on in the world and yet people complain over their 3G speeds being "slow" or Sprint not releasing a good phone at MWC, or the Echo (even though nobody's used it).
/rant
It doesn't matter. Most iPhone users are just mindless zombies that believe it is the best product simply because it has an apple on it. AT&T or Verizon can do whatever they want and they will still sell millions of iPhones.

i have to use my upgrade or i loose it in two days. would the evo shift be a huge downgrade to my evo? im asking because there are no other worthy upgrades right now on sprint.
i figure ill use the shift until the nexus comes out then sell both evo's for it.
Hell no! Unless you think screen size is a downgrade which it isn't.. same type just smaller. The processor is better then evo.. kb sucks tho.you can Oc to 1.5 stable .sexy
A drop of Chuck Norris's semen was placed on Android OS. We now have CyanogenMod.
If you're just going to sell it, you could always upgrade, then reactivate your Evo and put Shift back in the box and keep it in mint condition so you get the most money.

I bought one for a friend of mine and helped him root/rom it. I actually loved the keyboard, felt great to me. In fact, I haven't used many slide out KB phones, but the only one I've used better than it is on my Arrive.
Which brings up the point, why not grab an Arrive Fixx? I've had tons of fun with mine so far, and you'd have the best of both worlds OS wise.

Can't you use the upgrade online and let them send it to you? Then you can just not activate it and re-sell it?
I am strongly strongly considering the Nexus S myself. With all the rumors of HTC locking their phones down .. I think I'm going to move on to nothing but pure google phones.

Well, I've been reading Google news and i saw this. http://www.pcworld.com/article/237339/google_shows_how_not_to_complain_about_the_patent_mess.html
HTML:
looking at the comments, makes me lol. Seems like some Apple fans
True, but Apple doesn't pay for its OS, it actually makes it, unlike Google, they bought it, shoved a bunch of stolen tech from other companies, repackaged it as "Google invention" and gave it away. Remeber, MS is making the bulk of manufacturers pay them between $5 and $10 per handest, then you add in Apple's cut, RIM's cut, Oracle's cut and whomever else's cut from each phone sold and you see their profits decline even further. Also MS makes more money off Android than Google does in Ads, kind of sad isn't it. To me Android does not make any sense to hang onto as a manufacturer, its not a viable and sustainable OS, its fragmentation is a joke, and the security is laughable. The only reason they sell these cheap plastic knockoffs are because of two reasons, and two resons only, first its free or darn cheap and second, it's not made by Apple. In its simpliest terms, that is the only reasons why.
Android sold people on the fact that it is so called open and free, its not, at all, but most people bought into that idea. Why? because Google told them so, so people beleived it. Truth is, Android is the worst Mobile OS in history when it comes to fragmantation, malware, trojans, viruses, and a slew of other problems. More so than ANY phone on the market, worse than Windows Mobile. Heck, I'd go as far as to say Android is neck and neck with the windows desktop OS when it comes to security threats and like I said, its the ONLY mobile OS to have this big of a problem. If you call having to install an anti-virus program on a mobile free and open, then you can have it.]

Then in an order late on Monday, U.S. District Judge Lucy Koh in San Jose, California, effectively dashed Apple's hopes of stopping the launch of Samsung Electronics Co Ltd's new Galaxy S III smartphone, which also runs on Android. Koh had said Apple's push to get a court order blocking the June 21 launch would overload her calendar, given Apple's high-stakes trial over other Samsung devices set for July that she is overseeing.

Apple hopes to give an edge by delaying competitor product Can they come out with a fabulous device instead Shame on you Apple.
To be fair, from what i understand from reading, the legal system is too slow to react to a new device launch. In other words Samsung could blatantly copy a feature and still get it launched before the courts could act. It would be nice if that excuse wasnt valid but i feel it may be legit.

Well, let me ask you this.....how long have you known that Samsung was going to be bringing the SGS3 to the US? That being said, don't you think Apple is to blame for the "slow reaction" of the court system being that they didn't file a motion against the SGS3 until the day before last weeks hearing? My logic is that Apple should have gotten on the ball and made their move to stop this launch as soon as they heard about it.....but i'm glad they procrastinated

That is for judge Koh because we all know she secretly wanted to get her hands on this phone as well
Actually the judgement has been delayed. Apple is sure to file another motion to fast track it, and since there is no date of the actual trial yet, Apple could still win.
Sorry, not trying to give bad news, just the fact. It would be really awesome if the judge did rule against Apple or better still throw the case out and fine Apple for wasting the courts time.
Love it! Another loss for Apple!

Sorry, not trying to give bad news, just the fact. It would be really awesome if the judge did rule against Apple or better still throw the case out and fine Apple for wasting the courts time.

Just to clarify why we're celebrating.....
In her order on Monday, the judge said Apple would have to request a new hearing date if it wanted to stop sales of the Galaxy S III phone. That likely would not take place before the phone's scheduled launch.

I got $5 that says if you jumped through all the hoops to get something patented you'd be doing the same exact thing. Stop being a hypocrite.

Yes, we would be doing the exact same thing but we would still be jerks. Jerks with money that cheat the system but jerks none the less.

Well yeah, it's a rare person who wouldn't abuse a stupid law if it made them rich enough. That makes most everyone a hypocrite (as long as you suppose extreme enough circumstances) and rather nullifies the point of calling anyone by the h-word.
Actually, if I (sorta broke) took the time to submit a patent, then defend this patent mine or not would be smart. Now in Apples case, they already have more money than they need (greed is legal), makes them look pathedic, period.

It is so repulsive that Google is getting on the advertising train even with their naming convention. I cant believe they are calling the new OS "KITKAT" instead of "KeyLimePie". Should be "KickbackKingdom" or "KeepKneepads".
Disgusting to me,

It's indeed getting more commercial which CAN mean that they('Google') only see $$ bills and don't give much attention about their OS.
Again, this is a possibility and I don't think this will happen due the fact that it's Google.

If they can make easy money by just naming the OS as KitKat, then why not do it? After all, it's not the name that matters, it's the OS itself.
Well

I Suppose. But for some reason it really bothers me. Maybe It's just me.

I dont see a problem. Naming each version of android based on sweets and deserts is purely fun as far as i can see. I also doubt google is making much if any off this, its just a nice collaboration.

Yes, well sell your phone if it bothers you that much and buy a WP or iOS based phone.

Yes, You could be right. Maybe I will give one of the others a try. Had Nexus One, Nexus S, Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 4. Last Windows Phone was (Windows Mobile 6.1) not too fond of that. Never hurts to try. Nice suggestion mate!

Hand on heart, I just don't care.
Apart from the fact the name sucks, that is. I'd really wish they'd stop with these awful names.
Wait.... Is it kitkat instead of Android or kitkat instead android?

Why is everybody bent out of shape? No money was exchanged in this deal at all, it was corporate synergy at its best. The reason Google went with KitKat was because KitKat bars are the Google teams favorite chocolate bar and they wanted to acknowledge that. They asked KitKat for their permission and 24hours later they agreed and decided to take it a step further and launch a campaign around the idea.
Google gets more recognition for android with the non techie people because more of them will actually know about the new android updates and their naming scheme. You can just imagine regular people wanting to know what the next android "flavor" will be, and they might actually start demanding updates and force the hands of the carriers and manufacturers because more people will actually care about them. Hell, Google might even make this a yearly thing and if it goes well we might have companies clamoring to be "The next big update" kind of like how people wait to see who the next Bond is going to be, but on a smaller scale.
KitKat will get marketing practically free, and have an association with the most popular mobile OS in the world. They now have permission to use Andy the android in their commercials, and if you go to the KitKat website you can see what I'm talking about. They just created an entire marketing campaign around android without paying Google a single cent
Perfect corporate synergy, this is a CEO's wet dream.

I absolutely love it. Everyone knew the android OS was being named after delicious treats.
After all, it threw a curve ball to anyone and everyone on the KeyLimePie bandwagon. I mean key lime pie does start with a K. but the word Key itself isnt essentially a "Treat" instead the word "pie" is the treat. Key lime is just the flavor. You know? Just a random rant.
What's the fuss?
I got news for you guys, Google has been a for-profit organization since they got started and makes BILLIONS of dollars in profit yearly. To act like they were your favorite "indie" music band that just sold out with this move is a little disingenuous (IMHO).
Android is a mess right now as everyone is trying to abuse the open nature to install bloatware and make warped systems. Google need to take control back.
