Series 60.com is currently hosting a few more insights from sales research firm Canalys, showing worldwide mobile device sales, broken down by platform in more detail. Read on...

See, for example, the pie chart at the bottom of this page.

Interesting stats include the Nokia 9500/9300 selling around 700,000 units in Q2, equalling the numbers of all Pocket PC and MS Smartphone sales combined. Now that's a stat you won't see in the mainstream press, as I bemoaned recently.

It's also interesting to see the breakdown between the different Symbian interfaces. Who or what is MOAP, for example? And look how small UIQ sales are, not helped by 3's ridiculous crippling of their Motorola devices (how is one supposed to evangelise a smartphone platform that can't even pick up email?) and by the perceived fiddliness of the stylus-based interface.

Food for thought, anyway, series60.com is often worth a visit. If anyone can help me with a further breakdown of the Series 60 sales by device, that would be even more interesting....
