Android rises 330% in the UK, iPhone sees a decline

In the UK, from the first three months of 2010 to the second quarter of the year, the sales of Android smartphones have grown 330%, yup that’s more than tripled. With Android phones counting one in every eight contract handsets sold between April and June, compared to one in 33 for the first quarter of the year.

Android’s overall market share jumped from 3% up to 13.2%, not a whole lot, but it’s growing fast. Which brings us to Apple, who saw a decline in market share, from 75% down to 64%. iPhone users are jumping ship, and many of them are going with Android.

RIM also saw market growth, going from 2 up to 7% market share.

The data comes courtesy of a report by German analyst firm GfK.
