Canalys, IDG, Gartner, ... Companies that specifically collect and publish (for a fee) market data information.

Actual device manufacturers rarely publish details about specific device volumes.

Major network operators also have the statistics/data on which devices "live" on their network. I haven't heard them publishing that kind of data, though.

If there were really popular web/WAP sites, the server logs would also have a good picture on which browses (= what kind of devices) are used to access the site(s). If you do not operate such a site, getting the data is again tricky.
