But "smart" phones are an infinitesmal part of the whole cell phone
market. And stateside the numbers are quite different than the European
numbers Navas lists. Why does he purposely mislead with european numbers.

Don't you even bother to read your own citations?!
NPD Group says the Symbian OS held 11 percent of the U.S. smartphone
market, but there's reason to question this figure. NPD's list of
smartphones does not include ones running the Symbian OS with Nokia's
Series 60 interface. However, even if these were included, it would
not be enough to give the Symbian OS the lead in market share.
...
On the other side of the Atlantic, the market share numbers are very
different. The Symbian OS completely dominates this category of
devices in the Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) region.
Over 91 percent of smart phones and feature phones shipped during the
first quarter of this year to this region ran Symbian OS. Microsoft's
Windows Mobile for Smartphone was a very distant second with 7.8
percent of the market, and the Palm OS was barely on the map with 1
percent.
You really are clueless.
