Nokia sold 16.7 million smartphones last quarter, and 24 million the quarter before-those are Symbian OS. They had around 24% of the smartphone market two quarters ago, and it fell to around 15% last quarter?
I believe that Gartner may have used a snapshot of the 2nd or 3rd calendar quarter for those numbers, since they do not correspond with either Nokia's nor Apple's quarterly numbers so far this year, but seem to be in between them.
