It’s been a while since we last featured an up-going graph on the site, so here’s a beauty courtesy of research specialist ChangeWave.

It always takes a while for the big buyers to catch on. They need to know it’s safe and not going away before piling in.

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.
