Says Symbian will still be top, followed by Android.
IDC's latest report predicts that 390 million smartphones will be sold in 2013, with Symbian still top dog, followed by Android in second place.
The analyst firm says Nokia's strength in non-US markets will ensure Symbian's position at the top of the smartphone OS chart.
However, IDC has broken out some actual figures for second-placed Android - for Symbian numbers you presumably have to buy the report.
IDC claims that 690,000 Android handsets were sold in 2008, but that by 2013 it'll be in 68 million new phones a year.
However, the report predicts a difficult three years for Linux and webOS shipments, which it thinks will be cannibalised by Android shipments.
