If they counted sales of individual models rather than sales by brand I think the iphone would be the top. Either way I would guess Apple does dominate consumer smart phone sales, but RIM absolutely owns the business/corporate market.

I'll keep my droid phone. I happen to enjoy it more anyhow.

A 16 GB iphone through AT&T is same price as Verizon charges for a droid. I doubt anyone cares that you hate the iphone, but you should probably hate it for actual reasons rather than ones you have made up.

So far I like my iphone, its very user friendly for someone like me who does not want to spend a lot of time learning how to use gadgets. I liked my hTC until the damned thing broke after a year and a half.. ( maybe I shouldnt' have dropped it so much?) They are all pretty much the same thing in the end.

Much like Harley Davidson trying to patent a sound... potato potato potato

Cut it anyway that you want; RIM owns the market at this point. Period.

This is Just a question. I know that Android and for that matter Palm Pre are based on Linux. After my wife and I experienced failures of our 3rd set of Pre's we switched to Iphones. The more I read the more the IPhone seem to have Linux like features as well anyone know for sure?

No, iphone OS is based off of Mac OS which is based on Unix. Linux and Unix have some compatibility though.

I think it does, the underlying architecture is completely different, but it acts and feels very much the same way, but it is built completley ass backwards.
