The share of smartphone market share amongst the various companies will fluctuate with introduction of new models etc. You should consider that from Q1 to Q2 Nokia increased smartphone market share from 38% to 41%, then it was down to 35% again the last quarter, but will likely go up again in the Christmas quarter with the introduction of several new touchscreen models. It is more important, in my opinion to see the broader picture, i.e. the total sales in one year compared to another and not overstress the individual quarters. Even so, Nokia did have about 35% sequential unit growth in their high-end touchscreen smartphones last quarter (the 5800+N97). This is comparable to Apple´s 37% unit growth in iPhones the same quarter (attributable to the introduction of the 3GS).
