Fill it to the RIM -- With Fail

Apple and Samsung continue to feed on RIM’s walking corpse:

According to Gartner’s numbers, Apple and Samsung were the two biggest winners by a mile in the June quarter. Apple sold an estimated 28.94 million iPhones compared to 19.63 million in the same quarter last year, while Samsung’s end-user sales climbed to 90.43 million mobile phones from 69.83 million in the second quarter of 2011.

The only other vendors that saw growth in the quarter were Huawei and ZTE, which sold 17.94 million phones last quarter compared to 13.07 million during the same period last year. All other vendors saw year-over-year declines according to Gartner, including HTC (2498), which sold 9.30 million phones compared to 11.02 million in Q2 2011, and RIM, which saw sales drop 37% to 7.99 million units from 12.65 million during the same quarter last year.

RIM’s average selling price has been in decline along with its sales. It’s not supposed to work like that.
