Nokia's Market Share Topped 40% in Q4
Worldwide mobile phone sales to end users surpassed 1.15 billion units in 2007, up 16% from 990.9 million in 2006, according to new research from Gartner. Much of the growth can be credited to consumers buying their first handsets in emerging markets such as China and India, said Gartner’s research director for mobile devices Carolina Milanesi.
However, don’t look for such strong growth again this year, Milanesi warns. Gartner expects only a 10% increase in 2008 “as mature markets become more saturated.”
