Canalys released its full, detailed Q4 2011, REPORT on Feb-3, 2012. This document is a must read - especially b'coz it clarifies that for the first time in history "Smartphones outsold PCs, laptops & Tablets". However, that paper also contradicted the public opinion of WP-phones & Meego-devices sales -- stating the WPs sold 1.2 million while the Meegos sold 600K units. Below's the extract:

Despite a disappointing set of financial results, Nokia’s smart phone performance in the fourth quarter gave cause for optimism. It shipped 19.6 million smart phones, down 31% from the record high of a year earlier, but up 17% on Q3 2011. The total was helped by 1.2 million and 0.6 million shipments of its Windows Phone and MeeGo-based products respectively, as well as improved Symbian Belle volumes from competitively priced devices such as the Nokia 500, 700 and 701. Its total smart phone shipments for the year came in at 77.3 million globally.
Could they have possibly slipped up the names?
