That gives ya a massive 14.4 million Android's sold per quarter, easily trumping iPhone sales. And that is just for starters.

And if you REALLY want to talk volume, Nokia sells about 45 million phones EACH MONTH. Or about 135 million per quarter.

Samsung is up pretty high, too, doing about 23 million a month (70 million a quarter).

In smartphones, it's Nokia first, then RIM, then Apple, closely followed by HTC. If you do it by OS, it's Symbian, Blackberry, Android, then iOS.

Apple's never been a sales leader for smartphones, ever. Even inside the US. Runs counter to their claims and what their more fervent believes love to trumpet, but the truth is - while they sell a lot of phones - many others sell a LOT more...

BTW, you may want to know that Jobs' expectations for the iPhone was 1% of the phone market, or 10 million phones, in 2008. Apple passed that mark well before the year was over and shot way beyond that in following years. Quite simply, the iPhone has broken pretty much every phone sales record and far surpassed all expectations. Can you say that for any other phone?
