The World's Definition ... << That is 77.3 million by Nokia's definition of smartphones, which does not coincide with the world's definition of smartphones. >> That BD, coincides with the way the scorekeepers who track the sector -- ABI Research, Canalys, Gartner Dataquest, IDC, IHS iSupply, Strategy Analytics, etc. -- define smartphones, even though they vary somewhat in doing so since there is no official universally accepted definition of a smartphone. As a consequence you are perfectly free to roll your own smartphone definition, track the sector using it, and sell your services and research reports to any willing buyer. BTW: As someone kindly pointed out to me in the post you are referring to I erroneously stated that "Samsung sold-in USD $46.060 Billion total Smart Devices and related products and services." That should have been stated ... ... Samsung Telecoms sold-in USD $46.060 Billion total Mobile Phones and Smart Devices (Smartphones and Tablets). - Eric -
