These are smart phones and I suspect it's not a global figure. Linux phones
have been tremendously popular in China.
Either way, looking at the total figures and knowing that around 1 billion
phones were sold, the "64 million" figure stands out as suspicious. There's
some catch here. It gives the wrong impression and it probably isn't what it
says on the tin.
