The race for second-best

Cell-phone manufacturers line up for their shot at releasing an iPhone killer. Guess that’s because they have no chance of beating the real market leader. U.S. smartphone sales in May:

1. RIM BlackBerry Curve (all 83XX models)
2. Apple iPhone 3G (all models)
3. RIM BlackBerry Storm
4. RIM BlackBerry Pearl (all models, except flip)
5. T-Mobile G1

In other news, I believe it’s been at least three weeks since the last Globe feature about trouble at RIM.
