The numbers are in. Analytics firm Flurry is comparing sales figures for the most popular smartphones in the first 74 days on the market. Flurry estimates sales based on downloaded applications featuring its embedded analytics technology.

This trend is unlikely to slow down anytime soon, given the incredible number of new Android handsets being released this Spring.

Android increased 4.3% to capture 7.1% of the market, while RIM had a small growth spurt of 1.7% from the previous quarter, but enough to maintain its sizable lead over Apple, which came in flat at 25.1%.
