ComScore: Android #2 in Euro 5 group, July 2011.

Via comScore's MobiLens, Android's explosive growth has led it to grow 16.2 percentage points in a year, nearly matching Symbian's decline, in MobiLens' Euro 5 index of Italy, Spain, Germany, France and the UK.

Note that Microsoft's market share in those countries has slid 4.8 percentage points, or 42% overall.  Yes Symbian had a 16.1 percentage point decline year-over-year, but that's a 30% decline, by comparison.  And one year ago, Microsoft actually was ahead of Google and RIM, despite having a legacy Windows Mobile 6.5 and not the new WP7 platform.  I'm thinking this could be another sign that live tiles are not so popular, eh?
