Your estimates are way off. They are on pace to sell about 75M phones but the trend is down big. Their smartphone sales are estimated to be about 33% of the total or about 6M units. I am guessing that many of their feature phones have a paid up license. So, I think the estimate by Ron is pretty close and the numbers you are throwing around do not reflect reality.
Excerpt and Link below:
"The shift to high end devices, and away from mass market featurephones, was reflected in an 18% year-on-year fall in handset sales, to 17.7m units. There was no breakdown of smartphones and featurephones, though an estimate from Macquarie Group suggests it may have seen a 47% increase on Q410 smartphone volumes, to reach about 5.7m units or one-third of its total. Other analysts are more bullish - Strategy Analytics reckons it reached 54% growth."
