A comment on Windows Phone overtakes Blackberry in the U.S.

Clickbait title: Windows Phone didn't "overtake" Blackberry so much as the Blackberry sales declined below the entirely flat sales of Windows Phone.

This is an article that describes the continued decline of Blackberry sales, as compared with the flat sales of Windows Phone; which shouldn't really seem newsworthy.

Actually, the sales for Windows Phone increased, it was just the market share that was flat (as the market as a whole expanded). Be careful about the difference between flat market share and flat sales; they are not the same in a growing market.
