The newest NPD report seems not to be a surprise. Android devices have scurried accross US carriers. With their very competitive prices, Android devices have got good sales in the country.

The data comes from self-reported online consumer surveys of NPD, not the corporate sales info that may change their numbers.

The NPD first quarter report of US smartphones shows RIM at 36%, Android at 28% and Apple at 21%. Since June 2009, no new model came from Apple.

As for the carriers, Verizon Wireless and AT&T are on par. This is caused by the strong sales of Droid, Droid Eris, and Blackberry Curve on Verizon. The next place is T-Mobile then Sprint.

Said executive director of industry analysis for NPD, Rubin:

“Recent previews of BlackBerry 6, the recently announced acquisition of Palm by HP, and the pending release of Windows Phone 7 demonstrates the industry’s willingness to make investments to address consumer demand for smartphones and other mobile devices. Carriers continue to offer attractive pricing for devices, but will need to present other data-plan options to attract more customers in the future.”
