Sales of Symbian OS-based smartphones and communicators have risen 201% from quarter 3 of 2003 to quarter 3 of 2004, according to Symbian's latest quarterly report. Total shipments in 2004 through September were 8.69 million units, compared to 4.89 million Symbian OS devices for the same period in 2003. Although those figures are shipments to carriers, not sell-through to users, user sales are up as well, bringing, by Symbian's estimate, the total installed base of Symbian OS devices to 19.2 million units worldwide.
