the confusion comes from IDC and Gartner having different definitions of what is a smartphone, handheld and PDA. For example the Treo is not in the same category as the BB so when BB and Palm are compared, Palm's 2 million Treo sales are not inluded in the 4.23 mill for BB to 2.72 for palm comparison. Add the two togtehr, as Palm does, and the numbers make sense....all the numbers and explanations are in the "Palm in Trouble" thread
