"But its a global market, and sales are all over the world. And when you look at that, Nokia simply dominates."
Apparently no longer in Taiwan, the US or Europe, if the very recent articles I just posted are any guide.
Where, then? If, as you concede, Nokia's has performed a swan-dive in the US, but this is somehow not representative of its true global might, then what regions sustain it, if Taiwan the Asian powerhouse and Europe the Nokia back-yard are fading fast for it?
I wonder, are we still talking smartphones? ...I only ask because I'm having real trouble reconciling your contentions with reality. Why the panicked reorganization, then? Why the decimation of their stock price? Might you be the only cheerleader they have left?
Seems to me you're clinging to that one table from May, in the face of several data points that suggest something different, at least for smartphones people actually pay for.

Nokia’s been the leader in Smartphones for years. Do you have ANY actual data to the contrary, other than articles about people warning that Nokia may LOSE the lead in the future?
Right now, they simply dominate sales of Smartphones worldwide; every sales survey says so. So until you can come up with a sales report/market share that shows otherwise, the May 19 Gartner report (which is consistent with previous Gartner reports for the last several years) still stands, and my statement is 100% correct: Nokia dominates the Smartphone market.
Facts trump prognostication.
