But its all about marketshare and customer satisfaction and WinMo has the lowest.
As of the third quarter in 2009, out of 41 million smartphones sold,
  • Symbian finished first with 44.6%
  • Research in Motion's BlackBerry OS finished second with 20.8%
  • iPhone finished third with 17.1%
  • Windows Mobile had 7.9%
  • Android is 1.8 percent but is estimated to grow to about 12%-15% by 2012
Also Android is free whereas WinMo costs the phone maker $25 per handset.
I listen to a lot of podcasts (TWIT, etc.) and when they list smartphones, it's: iPhone, Blackberry and Palm Pre. Usually no mention of WM or Symbian!
