I switched from symbian (N97) to iOS (iPhone 4) 4 months ago. If everyone feels the same about symbian the way I do, I hope the figures are the other way around in one year 🙂 (considering how many people can still be stuck with symbian phone subscriptions)

The reason is obvious: unlike in most other statistics (such as “mobile OS”), StatCounter doesn’t include an “unknown” graph in the “mobile vendor” chart. And it’s not only the graph missing: these number are simply *ignored completely* — giving all “known” vendors a higher market share than they actually have.

According to the Apple/iOS numbers, globally it’s “only” some 17% missing due to unknown vendors — but in some specific regions, the numbers are off much more.

What’s worse, some vendors became “known” at various points in time; meaning the “missing” part is actually not constant — so it’s not really possible to follow the trend of any vendor’s market share from these graphs at all.
