Nokia Still Leading In SmartPhone Sales

by Administrator

Nokia has remained ahead in sales of SmartPhones, but Research In Motion is growing faster. SmartPhones are important to both companies because they tend to be very profitable.

Still, according to Gartner, Nokia is still by far the market leader with 47.5% of the smartphone market on 15.2m units sold to users. However, its market share has dropped from 50.8% in the same quarter last year.

Research in Motion (RIM) has done well with BlackBerry sales growing by 126.4% to 5.6m units, year over year, and it has now overtaken Windows Mobile.

Apple is also gaining ground on Nokia in the segment.
