Blackberry attractiveness dying
When it came to smartphones, Blackberry mobile phones were at the top of the list for Research in Motion. CNN reports the business isn't at the top anymore though. All of the competition has been beaten by the Google based Android system. With 31 percent of product sales, the Android beat Research in Motion product sales and got to the top. The first phone using the Android operating system was the HTC G1, which was released in Nov. 2009 and carried exclusively by T-Mobile.

Now, you will find a ton of Android OS mobile phones. Over 170 types of tablet computers and phones use it.
It is hard for old cell phones to make it
Android is the only smartphone in the United States to continuously grow even though there are four preferred platforms. Research in Motion at one point sold 42 percent of all smartphones, but Research in Motion product sales have dwindled to 30.4 percent between Feb. of 2010 and the end of Jan of 2011. For a while, Windows phones have been going down in industry share for smartphones. Now it’s lower than 10 percent. The iPhone has been good for Apple, but not good enough. It has stayed at a constant for the industry share. The activation of Android cell phones happens all the time. In fact, about 350,000 every single day are activated to begin service. A larger share of the industry was held by Symbian OS from Nokia than form Android until late 2010. This was when the Android sales came up and Symbian OS product sales went down.
Android Nokia cell phone not likely
Just about every phone business makes an Android phone, as Google licenses it for free, and adapting it is fairly simple for any developer, but Nokia isn’t really having it, in accordance with the Los Angeles Times. Nokia and Microsoft have a relationship now. It seems that Windows Mobile on Nokia phones will become the normal thing. Microsoft is reportedly going to pay Nokia $1 billion for the rights to put Windows Phone 7 on Nokia devices, which could possibly be a net benefit for both businesses if it is successful.
