comScore released their report on the mobile phone market in the US for the second quarter of this year. They found that Android is pulling ahead of iOS and that those are the only two OSes that didn’t lose market share.

Samsung is solidifying its place as the top phone maker in the US (note: counting both feature phones and smartphones) with 25.3%, up 0.8% compared to the previous quarter. Apple overtook RIM in Q2 and now sits in 4th place. Apple also grew the most quarter-on-quarter (QoQ), a full percent, reaching 8.9% of market share.

Not surprisingly, iOS overtook BlackBerry Operating System (OS) and seized second place in US Operating System (OS) popularity with 26.6%. Android, however, it's well ahead with 40.1%, widening the gap between it and iOS. Meanwhile, Microsoft's presence in mobile phones continued to decline and Symbian is on its last two percent.

The smartphone market in the US grew 8% QoQ. The top three OSes (Android, iOS, BB OS) control a hair over 90% of the US smartphone market share, leaving very small room for Windows or Symbian.
