OS not so important?

Among those manufacturers who have been noted in the article as losing market share, yes, of course. There's varying flavours of Android, Windows Mobile with different proprietary window dressing, webOS... and I'd like to see the trends towards or away from Android/WM. The problem here is, everyone seems to have their own interfaces for these OSes and, to be meaningful, you'd have to break it down by UI as well as OS.

However, the three who have increased market share, well their OS is obvious. Nokia is some flavour of Symbian S60 (in Q4 2009 I'm pretty sure N900 sales weren't significant), Apple is varying versions of iPhone OS and RIM use BlackBerry OS.
