It’s our first stats-based update of the week!
According to a survey carried out by Crowd Science, Android is turning BlackBerry users GREEN with envy – with 32% of BB owners saying they’d be happy to swap their RIM device for an Android phone, were the gods of network operators and contracts to make it possible.
iPhone came out even better, with 40% of BlackBerry owners happy to DO THE DIRTY and bin their handset for one of Apple’s Disney-fied phones. Here’s a slightly-over-complicated graph confirming the data:
That said – BlackBerry is still dominating the smartphone market by miles, as proved by the most recent three-monthly market share stats for the all-important North American market. The full press release can be found here, plus there’s a more complex PDF of results with much more data and analysis than we can bear to pay attention to online here.

Motorola’s latest flagship dual-core Android monster is a massive, original powerhouse, that’s a big improvement on previous MOTOBLUR mobiles – but still isn’t a total winner.
A slim and glamorous phone from Sony Ericsson, with the sharpest display around. It’s no powerhouse and the screen’s not the biggest out there, but we don’t mind. Because it’s cute.
LG’s first glasses-free 3D phone is a heavy, fat monster, with a clever 3D effect that works rather well. As a smartphone, though, it’s heavy and underwhelming.
A very shiny thing from Sony Ericsson, with a 3.7″ screen and Android 2.3.3 inside. But is it exciting enough to win fans in today’s spec-obsessed market? Can man live on one core alone?
INQ’s Android phone is an interesting “boutique” piece of hardware, packed with unique interface customisations that go far beyond the headline Facebook integration. We like it a lot.

/ March 15, 2010Maybe I’m reading the chart wrong, but I’m pretty sure it’s 34%, not 32.
I think that it’s also very telling that 24% of iPhone users would buy an Android phone. That’s about a quarter of the iPhone market.
