RIM (RIMM) Beats Apple (AAPL) In Smartphone Survey

According to the latest data from Changewave, Research-In-Motion (RIMM) is running away with the US smartphone market. The research firm’s May survey was based on data from 2,049 respondents involved with IT spending.

The latest data shows that the RIM Blackberry has 76% of the corporate smartphone market. That is up three points from the February survey, Palm (PALM) had a 17% share, down one point.

As for purchase plans in the third quarter, 82% of buyers believe they will get Blackberries. Thirteen percent plan to buy Apple (AAPL) iPhones, and only 8% plan to buy a Palm product.

The iPhone may sell well, but not into the corporate market.
