New Marketing Data Suggests LG Beat Out Apple for 2nd Place in US Phone Market

[Layvin1]

very nice(still no forum )
Im going to have to read up on it, my friend has a spectrum 2, and wants all the goodnesses(which is why i had been searching)

I do agree, a very overlooked phone, the screen is very nice and the hardware is great. now it just needs some vanilla!

Its in the works...asianflavor and Miller6386 are working on a clean ICS build that will be pre-rooted and feature the essential apps. Once that is ticking correctly Miller is going to try to port CM10 to it. So get him over to Rootz and to join in on the forum here. It wont be long. ;-)

In 10 years Apple will own as much of the tab market as they do the PC market now. About 10-12 percent.
It will be Microsoft and Android in the top 2 spots.

I swear once Ubuntu mobile releases in time this will be obsolete, yet Google is dirty with it and backed by way more. Google Android will someday have its own fully functional os. Guaranteed

I dont forsee the nexus 4 selling all the much with no verizon, same with optimus G.....i dont know, this is just very hard to believe.

maybe they were counting there non smart phones as well since apple doesnt have any. LG has plenty

the Nexus 4 may not be a big seller because of no LTE. But it is in fact a statement phone. LG was always looked down upon and shrugged off in the dev community. The N4 changed that. LG really got a lot of respect back from that one device. I've only heard good things from the guys that have it on another network. It is a firm step in a great direction for the company that I assume will lead to more respected devices being released and much better sales numbers in the near future. I expect similar to happen with Sony as soon as the new Xperia Z line is released. This year will be the year that Samsung's competitors make a resurgence. But with the supposed specs of the SGS4, they will still retain the crown. Look for prices to drop too (after the N4, and now the rumored Moto X Phone selling on google play for relatively cheap w/o contract). This competition will benefit us most, and I am REALLY looking forward to it

I think it was reasonable to take into account non-smartphones because we are talking about the cellular market which encompasses all phones. That said LG offers phones that apple doesn't and so that is a lose for apple.
