Record quarter for mobile phone sales
Mobile phone sales reached record levels in the third quarter of 2005, totaling 205.4 million units worldwide, according to research firm Gartner. This is a 22% rise over the third quarter of 2004, and the biggest quarter on record since 2001, reports Digital Media Asia. Gartner is expecting a strong fourth quarter and predicts that worldwide mobile handset sales will reach 810 million units by the end of 2005.
It was a good quarter for both Nokia – which made inroads into the Code division multiple access (CDMA) market by offering five handsets – and Motorola. Up to the end of September, Motorola sold 12 million of its sleek, slim RAZR phones.
