Global smartphone shipments in Q3 grew 78 percent to 77 million units from 43.4 million a year ago, according to a study by Strategy Analytics. Apple was the best performer, as it overtook RIM and closed the gap on Nokia. Apple shipped 14.1 million smartphones worldwide in Q3, compared to 7.4 million a year ago and the company has a global market share of 18.3 percent. RIM shipped 12.4 million smartphones worldwide in Q3, up from 8.5 million in the previous year. RIM continued to be hampered by a limited presence in the high-growth touchscreen segment and consequently its global smartphone marketshare has edged down from 19.6 percent to 16.1 percent during the past 12 months. Nokia shipped 26.5 million smartphones, compared to 16.4 million in the previous year and the company has a global market share of 34.4 percent.
