The one fact in the article is the # of iPhones sold vs the total number of all phones sold last year. That is complete apples to oranges. Compare the # of iPhones sold to the # of Blackberries sold, possible some of the other high end phones as well. But I think you generally have super high end with Blackberry and iPhone, high end where you at least have a full keyboard and web browing, mid level which are "normal" cell phones, and low end which are just phone/texting.

I'd like to see sales numbers for RIM vs Apple.

It's also not just volume, Apple has an impressive margin on the iPhone and the other companies are selling commodity phones on paper thin margins, lets look at total profit and see why people are buying Apple stock and dumping Nokia & Motorola.
