Canada vs. The World

Did a bit of research on current smartphone OS market share.

AndroidiOSRIMSymbian
Global43%18%12%22%
Canada12%31%42%6.4%
US36%26%21%1.9%

I assume the high adoption for Android and Symbian globally is because cheaper phones are more common in less wealthy countries. Canadians must be pretty well off, since they love their iPhones, and hate on Android. I'm not sure if the RIM-love is patriotism, deals between RIM and Bell/Rogers, or some kinda of duty implication that benefits RIM handsets. (US/Canada data from Comscore, Global data from Gartner)
