If you're talking about Smartphones, the latest numbers show BlackBerry and Android in a dead heat and iOS a distant 3rd, Symbian and Windows Mobile trail by quite some margin behind that.
Note that this is exclusively on the Smartphone market, "Feature Phones" are currently a bit of a dying breed.

I just asked a friend and this was his answer: Symbian is still king.
Android is being pushed by telecoms and Qualcomm expressed that they ship more devices into Saudi than iPhones.

I always felt like Blackberry was extremely popular in the Gulf, but that isn't scientific :)
