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?

Nokia and Motorola both have done it in the past, and others will do it in the future. As far as passing all expectations, look at the EVO and the DroidX - both sold out for weeks, because demand is WAY beyond supply.
