DeeManD: ...... QUOTING VERBATIM FROM WIKIPEDIA ......

"On November 5, 2007, the Open Handset Alliance, a consortium of technology companies including Google, device manufacturers such as HTC, Sony and Samsung, wireless carriers such as Sprint Nextel and T-Mobile, and chipset makers such as Qualcomm and Texas Instruments, unveiled itself, with a goal to develop open standards for mobile devices.[13] That day, Android was unveiled as its first product, a mobile device platform built on the Linux kernel version 2.6.[13] The first commercially available phone to run Android was the HTC Dream, released on October 22, 2008.[40]

Since 2008, Android has seen numerous updates which have incrementally improved the operating system, adding new features and fixing bugs in previous releases. Each major release is named in alphabetical order after a dessert or sugary treat; for example, version 1.5 Cupcake was followed by 1.6 Donut. The latest release is 4.3 Jelly Bean.[41] In 2010, Google launched its Nexus series of devices—a line of smartphones and tablets running the Android operating system, and built by a manufacturer partner. HTC collaborated with Google to release the first Nexus smartphone,[42] the Nexus One. The series has since been updated with newer devices, such as the Nexus 4 phone and Nexus 10 tablet, made by LG and Samsung respectively. Google releases the Nexus phones and tablets to act as their flagship Android devices, demonstrating Android's latest software and hardware features."

deniceguy: Not Blackberry...Symbian was the most popular smartphone OS on a worldwide average until the end of 2010, when it was overtaken by Android.

JeffreyJamez: Worldwide..I ll say Samsung and HTC..but for Africa and Nigeria especialy it was tecno. Fine samsung had always been there for Nigerians but how many average Nigerians knew what it was all about until tecno started churning out low-budget phones?...so there you go.

4llerbuntu: Nope @ Op


The Mobile Phone OEM that made android popular was MOTOROLA, then HTC.

Motorola with the "DROID" campaign. they popularized the brand. back then droid was synonymous with Motorola.

Then HTC with their early android phones made the market wider than america
