Nokia showing promise
Nokia has had a tough time lately, but signs show that they are in the game again.
Nokia: 60.8M, 32.2%, 33.9% growth
Motorola: 33.9M, 18%
Samsung: 24.4M, 12.9%
LG: 12.1M, 6.4%
Sony Ericsson: 11.8M, 6.3%
"Despite all the interest and excitement over cutting edge devices, there continues to be a demand for simple voice-only phones that appeal to broad customer segments, even in mature markets like North America," said Ramon Llamas, research analyst for IDC's Mobility Group.
