And Nokia doesn't ship a single CDMA smartphone.

This doesn't even take into account the profit per unit, which Apple has always lead for the past few years. They might very well exceed Nokia's total profit from smartphone sales, even though they ship slightly less than half of Nokia's.

Looks like Android's sales figures may not be all that they seem...

Hot on the heels of Samsung admitting that it had exaggerated sales of its Android tablet to consumers, it is becoming clear that Google's Android platform definition is being stretched to include Chinese rivals, including China Mobile's Ophone and Tapas OS, a project run by the former president of Google China.
...
Describing the Chinese OMS as a "variant" of Google's Android platform is a troublesome stretch not just because China Mobile lacks any interest in using its forked version to support Google's ad platforms and services. OMS is also tweaked to use its own APIs and support WAP for web browsing. WAP (Wireless Application Protocol) is a mobile website technology that replaced the full Internet for mobile users there but hasn't ever caught on in the US.
China Mobile's OMS is therefore not only "not Google," its also incompatible with Android apps, and apparently more compatible with Windows Mobile. A report by an Asian technology newsletter said China Mobile issues its own SDK for OMS, and boasts around 600 apps for the OPhone. The company claims 430,000 developers for its platform. It invites Android developers to create apps for OMS, but the two are not the same platform in any meaningful sense.
...
That suggests most the growth in "Android" numbers is coming from no-name vendors selling devices in countries such as China, using devices that don't support Google's development of the OS (via ads or search services) nor even expand the platform in any meaningful way that could benefit Android users.

Though Nokia did a commendable job increasing their smartphone sales by about 30% during that period, they obviously missed A LOT of opportunities and let their competitors gain significant ground which will not be easy to recoup.
This doesn't even take into account the profit per unit, which Apple has always lead for the past few years. They might very well exceed Nokia's total profit from smartphone sales, even though they ship slightly less than half of Nokia's.
