BlackBerry fans’ last glimmer of hope in the U.S. market is gone

For the past year or so, BlackBerry fans would try to counter reports on BlackBerry’s barely existent U.S. market share by pointing to comScore surveys showing that BlackBerry still had a marginally larger market share than Windows Phone, Microsoft’s mobile platform that is similarly little used in the U.S. However, the latest comScore numbers inform us that even this little factoid is no longer true: Windows Phone has at long last overtaken BlackBerry in the United States. According to comScore, BlackBerry’s American market share fell to 3.1% in January 2014, which is 0.1 percentage points below Windows Phone’s similarly anemic 3.2%. Apple expended its share by one percentage point to 41.6% in January while Android’s share declined slightly to 51.7%.
