theroc66,
Maybe you're a little high on your estimate, at least according to a Taiwanese institute. But I get your drift.

Smartphones will continue to proliferate around the world in 2012 according to new projections released by Taiwan’s Marketing Intelligence & Consulting Institute. While 2011 was supposed to be the year of the tablet, most slates fizzled while just a few models found success in the emerging market segment. Meanwhile, smartphone sales continued to balloon last year. MIC estimates that global smartphone shipments reached about 452 million units in 2011, with Android having captured 46% of the smartphone market. The firm believes shipments will grow 35.8% to 614 million units in 2012, and Android’s market share will grow to 50% compared to Apple’s 19%. MIC also believes Microsoft’s smartphone share will climb to 13% this year. Read on for more.
