Feb 2012 comScore US smartphone: Android now over 50%.

Just released: comScore's February 2012 US smartphone market share.

Google's Android continues to grow in the US, despite all the talk about Apple's iPhone4S and Nokia's Lumia lineup.  True, Apple's market share is growing, but not at the expense of Android.

Total Smartphone Subscribers 100.0% 100.0% N/A
Google 46.9% 50.1% 3.2
Apple 28.7% 30.2% 1.5
RIM 16.6% 13.4% -3.2
Microsoft 5.2% 3.9% -1.3
Symbian 1.5% 1.5% 0.0

RIM's market share has declined by nearly 54% year over year (28.9% to 13.4%) while Microsoft is down nearly 50% (from 7.7% to 3.9%) year over year.  Rather than gaining market share for the WP platform, it looks like Nokia's just merely taking market share away from the other handset makers.

Bail?
