    I'm actually really impressed with the Samsung number (and anecdotally have friends who say they'll only buy Samsung) http://m.us.wsj.com/articles/BL-DGB-33583 …

        @monkbent graph is misrepresentative by topping at 80%. Also survey for USA, UK & OZ - likely very different in other less wealthy markets.

        @monkbent They sell about 50% of the phones in carrier stores. You can get to that that number if they selected randomly.

        @monkbent though, it’s unfortunate that this habit of misleading graph dimensions persists. @drance http://cl.ly/USi9/image.jpg

        @monkbent I don't think going with Samsung is about loyalty, more that they have the shelf space and the supply to back it up.

        @manicakes @monkbent And the largest persistent advertising, marketing and sales expenditures for their mobile products last 4 years?

        @monkbent The Android brand is just running away from Google. It’s amazing.

        @drance yeah, no association. That's why I think the relationship isn't nearly as Google-sided as some contend

        @monkbent @drance The idea that everyone uses Google services is wrong outside geek circles. Many still on Yahoo and Hotmail.

        @monkbent 1 out of 2 doesn't exactly strike me as high. More like heads/tails decision.

        @SammyWalrusIV 58% - and way higher than any other Android maker...

        @monkbent right I think 50% is neutral, so only 10 points above. Big diff between that and 75%+.

        @SammyWalrusIV of course. Obviously iPhone will be way out ahead
