Pyramid predicts in UK 84% will be smartphones by 2017
Rating: Also 22.2 million 4G users in 2012. Shurley shome mishtake?
Just over half (59 percent) of all handsets sold in the UK 2012 will be smartphones, according to the latest figures from Pyramid Research.

For example, the Oracle survey shows that data usage is increasing at a rapid pace as tablets, smartphones and apps saturate wireless space.
