Total 2005 Camry sales = 431,703, minus 14% fleet ~ = 371,264 retail sales.
Total 2005 Accord sales = 369,293, minus 2.1 % fleet ~= 361,538 retail sales.
So I think the Camry is still ahead in retail sales.

Aditionally, keep in mind that not all fleet sales are the same. Some manufacturers give huge fleet rabates, some do not. For example, fleet rabate for Camry is $900, and is the biggest in Toyota cars (0 to prius although 2.x% were sold to fleets). Sonata fleet rabate is from $2,000 to $2,500. Maxima that sold a lot to fleets, got $1k rabate.

The 26% figure for the Sonata is for the last few months of the last model year for the previous generation. They were probably selling to fleets at a higher rate to clear way for the all new model. In the first half of 2004, Sonata fleet sales were 15%.
We don't have any stats yet on the current generation. I doubt that fleet sales for the current model is 26%.

I believe the Camry Solara "convertable" is also counted as Camry sales which the Accord does not have a convertable model to compete with so that might be what it putting total Camry sales over Accord sales even for retail purchase.
