Report: Windows Phone Overtakes BlackBerry in US

Report: Windows Phone Overtakes BlackBerry in US

The battle to become the dominant smartphone platform in the United States is already a given, for now. The real competition is not whether Apple or Android takes the crown, but who captures third place and hoists itself as the dark horse of the market. A report from Strategy Analytics suggests that Microsoft's Windows Phone has overtaken BlackBerry OS to clinch the third spot among the largest smartphone platforms used in the United States during the fourth quarter of last year. “It was the first time Microsoft has surpassed BlackBerry since 2006,” the report adds.

It shouldn't be a surprise, really.
