Year-over-year, smartphone ownership went up from 16 percent to 23 percent of overall mobile consumers.
RIM BlackBerrys were still the clear leader, at 35 percent, but quarter-on-quarter (QoQ) the OS lost 2 percent share.
The Apple iPhone was in second at 28 percent, seeing strong 2 percent growth QoQ. Microsoft's struggling Windows Mobile platform lost 2 percent to 19 percent, but still good for third place.
The up and coming Android platform grew 2 percent, as well, to 9 percent and continues to see strong growth since its launch in late 2008.
iPhone users were the most loyal, with 80 percent saying their next phone would again be an iPhone. 70 percent on Android owners said their next phone would be an Android device again. The numbers get lower from there.
