Google carried out between March and July 2011 part of a global effort conducted in partnership with research firm IPSOS and the Mobile Marketing Association (MMA).

Below two interesting stats in Malaysia.

I am quite surprised with the statistic. I thought iPhone, Samsung and Blackberry should be the market leaders but the statisitic tells that nokia outperform other big brands. I believe one of the factors is the price.

For smartphone OS, Android is outperform other brands. One thing I like Android is, it supports flash while iOS doesn't.

If you are a mobile marketer, statistic above may help you! :)
